Fallen Angels
Series: 30 Years of Kino International [June 29 – July 12, 2007]
Director: Wong Kar Wai, Country: Hong Kong, Release: 1995, Runtime: 90

To follow-up Chungking Express, the dazzling Wong Kar Wai constructed this frenetic and exhilarating portrait of honky-tonk Hong Kong. A professional hitman, his glamorous booking agent and a mute ex-con who breaks into stores after hours and forces his customers to buy his wares are among the memorable characters who race headlong through this supercharged work.

Fallen Angels is a reverie—albeit one erupting periodically into slo-mo gunfights of pure, light-smearing energy. All romantic cinephiles owe it to themselves to take in the last installment of Wong’s long goodbye to the now-lost paradise of colonial Hong Kong and the sensationally florid film culture it incubated.” ––J. Hoberman
