The movie that awoke the world to a new master, Wong Kar Wai, Chungking Express is an impressionist splash of motion and colour. The first half is about a cop who has just broken up with his girlfriend of five years. Purchasing pineapple tins everyday, each with an expiry date of the 1st of May, he believes that at the end of that period, either the relation would expire, or he would be united with his lover. The second half is a story of another cop, who’s broken up with his flight attendant girlfriend. He chats with his apartment furniture, till he meets a new girl.
