《重慶森林》 Chungking Express (1994)
Synopsis:
The movie comprises two different stories, told one after the other, each about a romance involving a policeman.
Cop 223
The first policeman is the Taiwan-born Cop 223 (Kaneshiro) who has broken up with his girlfriend May on April 1st. His birthday is May 1 and he chooses to give their love a month. Every day he buys a tin of pineapples with an expiration date of May 1. By the end of this time, he feels that he will either be rejoined with his love or that it will have expired forever. Meanwhile, a woman in a blonde wig (Lin) tries to survive the drug underworld after a smuggling operation gone sour. Eventually, the Cop, looking for romance, approaches the woman in the blonde wig at a bar.
Cop 633
The second officer is Cop 633 (Tony Leung), who is similarly dealing with his breakup from a flight attendant (Valerie Chow). He meets a new girl (Faye Wong) at a local lunch counter who falls for him secretly, and who frequently breaks into his apartment during the day to redecorate and “improve” his living situation.
