NetFlix Review: ChungKing Express
Fri Apr 1 2005 11:20 MST #So last night's NetFlix movie was 'ChungKing Express' which simply amazing. I think that when it was released it's marketing sucked. At the very least I always had it stuck in my mind as a Chinese 'Like Water for Chocolate'.
But it was not so. It's very bright, interesting movie. Amazingly well shot, a bit of action but mainly a relationship film. Good writing, character development -- everything. The director was Kar Wai Wong of the simply amazing In the Mood for Love . Had I known this I would have been much, much more into watching this movie. Also in the good people column - it stars Tony Leung , of general Hong Kong fame -- but particularly from In the Mood for Love.
Two Thumbs Way up!
