Chungking Express
My first experience with a Wong Kar-wai film, and I'm already itching for more. The whole thing was beautifully shot throughout, and Doyle's handheld camera makes Hong Kong feel alive and claustrophobic all at once. The step-printing (I had to look this effect up lol) gives certain scenes this hypnotic, half-dreamed quality.
I think I would really give it like a 4.25... something just not there to push it into the 4.5 category.
Also, big ups to all the nice jazz music. Big fan.
