Chungking Express (Hong Kong, 1994)

A two-story look at life, love, & change.

There was no real transition from one story to the next, leaving me wondering throughout the second half of the movie: "Whatever happened to the guy that was buying all that pineapple?"

I saw this as part of a Backyard Cinema double feature hosted by the Phoenix Independent, Foreign & Art House Film Club. They have a great set-up in the host's back yard, complete with a large projection screen, & Blu-ray capability - all free of charge! The intermission gives those attending a great opportunity to discuss the first film & speculate on the second.
