In terms of content the movie talks about love, hope and loneliness. Also Fayes’s ( Faye Wong) addiction to the song ‘California Dreams’ by Papas and mama’s and the Cantonese rendition of a popular song by ‘Cranberries’. The movie features a lot of 80s pop, romantic jazz (saxophone playing in a couple of scenes is awesome in creating a seductive feel), Bhangra, Indian classical. Chungking Express is less about the story or content and more about the visual style of depiction blended with different music scores. I had seen Wong Kar-wai’s ‘ In mood for love’ which is a visual stunner with a very impressive background score. I had a mixed bunch of feelings after seeing this film. Languages: Cantonese, Mandarin, English, Japanese, Hindi
