Wong Kar-wai's 1994 Chungking Express has quickly been
recognised as one of the most important examples of 'World Cinema'
in the last two decades. It explores time and desire and, on an
allegorical level, the perceived loss of independence that many
felt would take place post-1997. Studying Chungking Express
considers these historical details but also the key issues of film
form, author-ship, representation and identity. Required reading
for all those studying contemporary World Cinema or Asian Studies,
Studying Chungking Express considers these historical details but
also the key issues of film form, author-ship, representation, and
identity. In particular: Its central place within the Hong Kong New
Wave film movement; its radical film form - notably the cut-and mix
play with editing techniques; the signature of Wong Kar-wai as an
auteur; the film's representation of the postmodern city; the
film's relationship to both Hollywood cinema and European art
film.
