Asian Cinema Collective Presents: Chungking Express
Event description
“If memories could be canned, would they also have expiry dates? If so, I hope they last for centuries.”
Wong Kar Wai’s 1994 classic, Chungking Express, celebrates it’s 30th anniversary in 2024. Set in the bustling streets of Hong Kong, it explores two different stories of love, loss and chance encounters. Beloved for its dreamy narrative, vibrant visuals and iconic music, Chungking Express stars the iconic Faye Wong, Tony Leung, Takeshi Kaneshiro and Bridgette Lin.
