FALLEN ANGELS (1995)
Directed by Wong Kar-Wai
Fallen Angels is a 1995 Hong Kong neo-noir
crime thriller drama film written and directed by Wong Kar-wai. It
features two intertwined storylines that intersect at differing points
throughout the film - one tells the story of a “cooly detached”,
lovesick hitman wishing to leave the criminal underworld (Leon Lai), the
prostitute he starts a relationship with (Karen Mok), and his
glamorously-dressed agent (Michelle Reis) who, despite having very
little physical interaction with the hitman, is completely enamoured
with him. The other story is of a mute ex-convict on the run from the
police (Takeshi Kaneshiro) and a mentally unstable woman dumped by her
boyfriend (Charlie Yeung). Set in 1995 pre-Handover Hong Kong,
Fallen Angels explores the characters' loneliness, their
alienation from the situations around them, and yearning for connections
in a claustrophobic and hectic city.
