WUD Film Presents: Chungking Express (1994)

HK | 102 min | PG-13 | DCP | Dir. Wong Kar-Wai "Two melancholic Hong Kong policemen fall in love: one with a mysterious female underworld figure, the other with a beautiful and ethereal waitress at a late-night restaurant he frequents," (IMDB). "While most who sing Chungking’s praises tend to give the tale of Lin’s killer and Kaneshiro’s cop short shrift, it’s a triumph of mood, bathed in midnight blues and burgundy reds, the atmosphere thick with yearning, and it concludes with two simple acts of kindness and a rapturous freeze-frame: a memory cemented for all time, a paean to almost-romance that’s better than the real thing," - Ho Lin (Camera Roll) Watch the trailer here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C3NDz_7KP2g     For information on available assistive content for WUD Film screenings, please visit the Assistive Movie Screenings in the Marquee Theater page .    This event is intended for UW-Madison students, faculty, staff, Wisconsin Union members and their guests.
