Wong Kar-Wai Month winds down with the director’s neon-soaked dramedy Fallen Angels.
The film intertwines two loosely connected stories: a disillusioned hitman who contemplates leaving his dangerous profession and his enigmatic female partner who silently yearns for him, and a mute ex-convict who runs an unconventional business and finds himself entangled with a free-spirited woman searching for her own purpose. Through its fragmented narrative, kinetic cinematography, and surreal atmosphere, the story captures the yearning for human connection amid the alienation of urban life.
A spiritual companion to Wong’s earlier work, Chungking Express, the film is celebrated for its bold visual style and its meditative portrayal of love and isolation.
