Details: The whiplash, double-pronged Chungking Express is one of the defining works of 1990s cinema and the film that made Wong Kar Wai an instant icon. Two heartsick Hong Kong cops (Takeshi Kaneshiro and Tony Leung Chiu Wai), both jilted by ex-lovers, cross paths at the Midnight Express take-out food stand, where the ethereal pixie waitress Faye (Faye Wong) works. Anything goes in Wong’s gloriously shot and utterly unexpected charmer, which cemented the sex appeal of its gorgeous stars and forever turned canned pineapple and the Mamas & the Papas’ “California Dreamin’” into tokens of romantic longing. DIRECTOR-APPROVED BLU-RAY SPECIAL EDITION FEATURES • 4K digital restoration, with 5.1 surround DTS-HD Master Audio soundtrack, both supervised and approved by director Wong Kar Wai • Interview from 2002 with cinematographer Christopher Doyle • Episode of Moving Pictures from 1996 featuring interviews with Wong and Doyle • Deleted scenes • Trailer • PLUS: An essay by critic Amy Taubin
