02 | Midnight Express

"One of the most innovative aspects of Chungking Express is to be found in its duel narratives. Besides neatly dividing the film into two, the two stories also feature similar plots and similar charters-like his earlier films, but more outrageously- and containing main overlapping features. The fast food place known as Midnight Express provides a kind of still Center - Itself significantly centered on that favorite Wongian topos, food- a spatial point de respere for all the characters." – Wong Kar-wai
