This Hong Kong-set crime drama follows the lives of a hitman, hoping to get out of the business, and his elusive female partner.
"This is the fifth feature film by Hong Kong filmmaker Wong Kar-wai. 'Fallen Angels' was conceived as the third story to be told in 'Chungking Express', his previous movie about two lovesick cops. When deciding that his film was complete as it was, Wong proceeded to reimagine the third story into a new production, but with a distinct visual proposal that makes them together a diptych: day and night in Hong Kong. In collaboration with his "go-to" cinematographer, Christopher Doyle, the photography of 'Fallen Angels' uses wide-angle lenses to shoot its protagonists close up and distort the world around them, evoking their emotional detachment from reality."
