Fallen Angels

Summary: A key film for the next wave of Filmmakers!
Review: Only one word is needed to describe this film, INSPIRATIONAL. Everything from the begining to end is filmed is such a way that the audience has to be captivated by the extravagant images brought before their eyes. The visuals portray a whitty and stylistic approach to the youth of asian culture. Christopher Doyle's use of color and composition gives the characters and surroundings a fantasy found usually in dreams. Wong Kar-Wai's direction not only surpases any of his other films, but sets new records for the next wave of filmmakers. It's urban settings and haunting music score bring emotions and senses to a riveting peak. Life is only sometimes this beautiful, but with the direction of Wong Kar-Wai, a moment of life like this can be eternal.

Summary: Fallen Angels is above genius
Review: Phenomenal. This movie is entertainingly fast. This movie attacks every one of your emotions. Won Kar Wai creates what Woo wishes he could get away with. A masterpiece of the 90's.

Summary: Watch it if you love art film
Review: Please do not mistaken this movie as an HK action movie. There is action and violence but this is absolutely not an action movie.
Oh! I fail to describe it. I usually do not watch art film but this movie is like a great painting, great piece of music. I was glued to it and could not take it off my mind.
Takeshi Kaneshiro is just great so as everyone else.
The plot is about lonely man and woman. All of them are lonely and need someone to fill their empty inside.

Review: The DVD version only has English sound track? How terrible

Summary: Simply brilliant
Review: The first time I saw it, I found the movie a little wacky. The second time I saw it, I fell in love with the movie. The ending is worth it. This movie is a gem that you won't find too often in the U.S.

Summary: Calling all HongKong movie fans
Review: The perfect 2A.M. atmospheric movie. For anyone who could not get enough of BLADE RUNNER, this should supply a good fix. Wonderful dark cinematography, sultry music tracks, it hits that deep unfulfilled spot in the heart and treats the fringe-type characters compassionately.

Summary: Dark, wild, touching, daring, wonderful.
Review: There are movies I love and movies with which I fall in love. I have fallen in love with Fallen Angels. A visual tour-de-force that is both dark and upeat, with oddly endearing characters and an unending stream of unique movie moments. It's by no means necessary to watch Chungking Express in order to enjoy this film, but I strongly recommend it because there are many subtle ties between this film and its equally delightful predecessor.
