Chungking Express was the one that brought Wong Kar-Wai to international limelight. Presented in the US by none other than Quentin Tarantino (he is an unabashed fan of Wong Kar-Wai and HK movies) and favourably reviewed by the western critics, Chungking Express has achieved a cult status of sorts. Here is the opening scene of Chungking Express that captures the mood of the story from frame one. An opening scene is extremely essential when it comes to making the audience interested in the movie. Do note the change in the colour of the scene as it manages to free itself from the early chaos that it observes through the camera lens.
