    Chungking Express BEFORE VIEWING – BEFORE READING SYNOPSIS TASK ■ With a partner, discuss and record your expectations of a film called Chungking Express which has been made in Hong Kong. After viewing the film you should compare notes with your partner to see how many of your expectations have been confirmed or contradicted. SYNOPSIS Cult Hong Kong filmmaker Wong Kar Wai’s Chungking Express is a stylish combination of romance, dead-pan comedy and film noir set in and around Hong Kong’s notorious Chunking Mansions, a complex of shabby hostels, bars and clubs teaming with illegal immigrants. The story centres on a small takeaway stall, the Midnight Express, which is frequented by two lovelorn Cops (223, Takeshi Kaneshiro and 633, Tony Leung Chiu Wai). They become involved with a mysterious drug dealer dressed in a blonde wig and sunglasses (Brigitte Lin), on the run from drug traffickers, and an impulsive young dreamer (Faye Wong) who works behind the counter of the Midnight Express. The central concerns of the film are identity and our reluctance to show, or to accept, who we truly are. The Brigitte Lin character wears a wig and sunglasses to hide her true self. Cop 223 refuses to accept the fact that his girlfriend has left him. The waitress (Faye Wong) secretly cleans the apartment for Cop 633 who avoids reading a goodbye note from his ex- girlfriend and is unable to realise that his apartment is getting cleaner and cleaner. BACKGROUND FOR WONG KAR WAI Wong Kar Wai belongs to the mid-1980s Second New Wave of Hong Kong filmmakers who continued to develop the innovative approaches initiated by the original Hong Kong New Wave, which included directors such as Tsui Hark, Ann Hui and Patrick Tam.

  • Cinematic Hong Kong of Wong Kar-Wai
    CINEMATIC HONG KONG OF WONG KAR-WAI by HAIHONG LI ABSTRACT In order to promote an understanding of the centrality of space and the intimate relationship between space and identity in Wong Kar-wai’s films, this dissertation examines the director’s construction of cinematic space and the characters’ sense of who they are in relation to Hong Kong in his six films Days of Being Wild, In the Mood for Love, 2046, As Tears Go by, Chungking Express, and Fallen Angels. The investigation of Wong’s use of cinematic space involves the analysis of his selection of location and strategic employment of the mise-en-scène, camera angles, lenses, lighting, and music, which constitute his fictional world. It is my assertion that Wong’s construction of Hong Kong in these films responds to the formation and transformation of identity and showcases the impact of colonialism, modernization, decolonization, globalization, and postmodern culture upon the lives of Hong Kong inhabitants.

  • The Wuxia Films of Zhang Yimou: a Genre in Transit Ian Kinane in This Chapter, I Will Examine the Role of the Modern Cinematic X
    The Wuxia Films of Zhang Yimou: A Genre in Transit Ian Kinane In this chapter, I will examine the role of the modern cinematic xia warrior as a figure of change – a transitional entity both within the historical continuum of the wuxia genre itself, as well as a harbinger of transnationalism within twenty-first century cinema. The successful (and commercially profitable) assimilation of the wuxia genre within the cinematic landscape of the global West, I argue, is representative of the growing political dissatisfaction with Euro- American systems of governance. Indeed, the xia warrior’s characteristically anti-authoritarian stance has found a place within the disillusioned and increasingly dissenting cultural consciousness of the Western world – precisely because the thematic subject matter of these films (the futile attempts of the individual or a group of individuals to overthrow powerful and corrupt governments) is one that resonates with the rise of contemporary neo-conservatism and the growing populism of authoritarian, far-right politics in Western societies (Teo 2009; Lau 2007). I argue that the transnational popularity of the wuxia genre within the socio-political West can be attributed to the political dissidence of the xia warrior, a figure that, as I outline below, effectively embodies for Western audiences an appealing anti-authoritarianism as well as a resistance to traditional socio-political power structures (Teo 2009; Shih 2007; Mainon and Ursini 2006; Martin 2005; Yeh and Davis 2005; Chan 2004; Klein 2004). In particular, I 1 will examine three of Chinese filmmaker Zhang Yimou’s popular wuxia films that have successfully transitioned from the Asian market to international audiences: Hero (2002); House of Flying Daggers (2004); and Curse of the Golden Flower (2006).
