Chinatown Fall Movie Nights by Chinatown Today: Chungking Express (Oct 4)
Our friends at Chinatown Today is bringing free free film screenings to Chinatown this fall at Massy Arts Society (23 East Pender)!
The upcoming film screening is:
October 4: Chungking Express (1994)
With unforgettable imagery of pre-handover Hong Kong and an iconic soundtrack, Wong Kar Wai’s 1994 film expresses the bittersweet emotion of lost connections and the fleeting nature of relationships. With two loosely intersecting stories linked in part by a snack counter, Chungking Express reminds us of the overlapping relationships with place here in Chinatown, and the difficulties of change.
