FALLEN ANGELS 4K aka Do lok tin si d. Wong Kar Wai, 1995 at ICA (21 JUL 18:30) / Part of The World Of Wong Kar Wai.

• “Initially developed as part of Chungking Express, Fallen Angels shares a similar freewheeling spirit but it’s a much darker and moodier affair, exploring the nocturnal lives of assassins, femme fatales and mute ex-cons. Shot with frenetic verve by Wong’s frequent cinematographer Christopher Doyle, it’s a stylish drama laced with quirky humour that glimmers with the neon magic of Hong Kong at night.”
