My guest for this month is David Blakeslee, and he’s joined me to discuss the film I chose for him, the 1994 Hong Kong drama film Chungking Express. You can follow the show on Twitter @cinemagadfly. Show notes: Wong Kar-Wai is an acclaimed director from Hong Kong The location of this film was inspired by the real life craziness of Chungking Mansions David’s blog, Criterion Reflections, is one of my absolute favorites CriterionCast, his other gig, is the best Criterion site I know of. So much great stuff there They did the first episode of their mainline podcast on this very film, go check it out! Nanook of the North used to be the oldest film in the Criterion Collection, now it’s The Phantom Carriage The original line-up for the CriterionCast podcast was Rudie Obias, Travis George, and my friend Ryan Gallagher Ashes of Time was the film Wong Kar-Wai was making when he took a break to make this one Fallen Angels is the “spiritual sequel” to this film In the Mood for Love is Wong Kar-Wai’s most celebrated film The early films of Wong Kar-Wai were more in the vein of directors like John Woo The character of Faye in this film is an almost perfect example of a Manic Pixie Dream Girl In 1994, the 1997 transfer of sovereignty over Hong Kong was on everyone’s mind California Dreamin' is probably the best known song that The Mamas & the Papas ever made The Cranberries song Dreams was covered for this film by Faye Wong, who plays the character of Faye The cop in the first half of this film is played by Taiwanese-Japanese actor Takeshi Kaneshiro This was the last film that legendary Taiwanese actor Brigitte Lin ever made The Criterion edition of this film features noted British writer Tony Rayns on the commentary track This is the film that made Tony Leung famous Tony Leung’s apartment was the real life apartment of the film’s cinematographer, Christopher Doyle Quentin Tarantino used his new fame after Pulp Fiction to draw attention to this film and get it released in the US Death by Hanging is a complex film from Japanese director Nagisa Oshima The Eclipse Viewer is David’s main podcasting gig, I highly recommend it He co-hosts the show with Trevor Berrett who contributes to a literature blog called The Mookse and The Gripes Their most recent episode at the time of this podcast is about the melodramas of Raffaello Matarazzo David gave me my first experience in podcasting when I joined him to discuss Michelangelo Antonioni’s Blowup Sadly this film is currently not available for rent or purchase in the US anywhere that I can find. If you know someway to watch it, please let me know and I’ll update these notes.
