chungking express and bed and board it's a foreign movie entry

chungking express is a 90's movie there is no doubt about it. all though some thing May be dated this film works. There isn't really a plot but 3 stories all of them fun to watch. I saw another film this director made called Fallen Angels which everyone thinks is better cause it's sad and depressing and I guess that some would think it's deeper. Well those people are assholes. cause this movie is has fun and energy and makes you wanna watch it over and over again.
Most of the film is about a cute love story and it's as rewarding as anything Audrey Hepburn ever did. All though the beginning may feel like your stepping in to a darker film by the end it makes up for it. This film has great humor and heart.
All the actors are really good as well and frankly i kinda wanna watch it again. all though i did watch it twice. It's weird because yeah you could watch this as just escapism but at the same time it's a good fun art movie. if you wanna someone to get into asian cinema watch this movie.



I know I've been watching alot of Truffaut lately. But I've been able to get alot of them and I haven't seen all his filmography so I want to. anyway
Truffaut is most famous for 400 blows and not is well know i guess. Is how he made several kinda of sequels to this one of the latter ones is bed and board. following the Antoine Doinel character. He at this point is married and living with his wife whom he met in the last film stolen kisses.
I didn't like stolen kisses that much but i do like this film. It shows Truffaut's love of Hollywood movies. but at the same time Truffaut is a very french film maker. the balance works very well in this film. I don't think that this film is his best but it defiantly makes me rethink the Antoine Doinel series. I wasn't thrilled with it after stolen kisses and love on the run but after this film i wanna go back and watch all of them. At this point I think I have seen them all. This isn't the best of the series and how could it 400 blows is an amazing film. but it takes a good second place and really there's nothing wrong with that.
I also notice that this film shows a particular love for hollywood romantic comedies you could even seen Carry Grant in this film. Even with some scenes reminding me of that era but you can tell when and were it was made too.
This is a good film Americans may find it's views on Fidelity a little odd but if you can get beyond that and i don't think it's a big hurdle you'll like this film.
