_Chungking Express_ has a reputation that I think may be beyond what it intended, with it being an Out-of-Print title at Criterion, the prices for the Blu-ray being obnoxiously high, and the constant barrage of exuberant reactions from many who’ve seen the film. It’s a fact that many films suffer considerably from this aspect of our cinephile culture, I’ve experienced it with many films before. I wanted to let it sit with me for a bit before watching it again and giving it a proper response.įilms like this, which are hyped to an unbelievable degree, end up sending an audience to end up watching it with elevated expectations, only to be ultimately disappointed afterwards. A week has passed since I watched this film.
