Chungking Express is praised for its immersive and frenetic storytelling, achieved through dynamic camera work that enhances character closeness and realism. The film's minimalist stories are enriched by excellent character composition and natural scenes. Some viewers found the first part of the story confusing.
I didn't quite understand the first part of the story.
Immersive, delicate, real and frenetic, the two stories that make up the film have these characteristics, mainly due to the camera work, which uses proximity, sudden movements and speed to provoke a greater sense of immersion, this works by creating a closeness between the characters, while at the same time provoking the same sense of space and vision as them. The story is simple, minimalist, both are that way, where the complexity comes from the excellent character composition, the scenes are beautiful, realistic, natural. It's as if we were living that moment.
