''Chungking Express'' (重慶森林) is a movie directed by Creator/WongKarWai and released in 1994, with an EnsembleCast including Creator/BrigitteLin, Creator/TonyLeungChiuWai and Creator/TakeshiKaneshiro. Creator/QuentinTarantino loved it so much that he signed a deal with [[Creator/MiramaxFilms Miramax]] to start his own releasing company specifically to distribute the movie in the US.

The movie can't be easily summarized, if only because it starts with one story, [[HalfwayPlotSwitch which it abandons on the way]] to continue with another. Essentially, each plot follows a Hong Kong cop, and his strange romance with a woman they've just met, but the two ultimately differ in tone and conclusion. Arguably, rather than trying to tell a story, it is a depiction of the cramped, hectic, neurosis inducing, but strangely exciting contemporary life in the city.
