If you loved In the Mood for Love, try Chungking Express

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Both films are directed by Wong Kar-Wai, and they sit in Drama / Romance territory. If that's the register that drew you to In the Mood for Love, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Chungking Express is

Hong Kong streets, rainy night, a cop's worn cassette player. A lonely beat officer and a lovelorn detective cross paths with a femme fatale and a quirky fast food worker. Wong Kar-Wai's offbeat humor shines through.
