Delve into the beauty of Wong Kar-wai's cinema with the fellas this week via CHUNGKING EXPRESS, an instant classic from early 90s Hong Kong. Prominently featuring music (originally) by The Cranberries and The Mama's & the Papa's, this split narrative confounds traditionally held notions of cinema and sinks its teeth into the human experience. Joined by Wong Kar-wai superfan Ryan, Charlie and Antonio explore the elusive nature of love and the moving picture.
Intro/outro music: 'Ich ruf zu dir, Herr Jesu Christ' BWV 639 by Johann Sebastian Bach from Tarkovsky's 'Solaris'.
