Fallen Angels (1995)

Wong Kar-wai's cinematography style, often crafted in collaboration with cinematographer Christopher Doyle, is a key element that contributes to the distinctiveness of his films. It follows an unconventional narrative, but explores various themes through visually striking compositions and dynamic colour pallettes combined with innovative camera techniques and neo-noir aesthetics make his style easily recognisable.

In Fallen Angels, love is not portrayed in a conventional or straightforward manner. Instead, it is interwoven with the complex narratives and emotions of the characters, creating a rich and multifaceted exploration of this universal theme.

The film also delves into existential themes, examining the meaning of life and the existential dilemmas faced by the characters. The film explores the characters' quests for identity and purpose in the chaotic and unpredictable world they inhabit.

Fallen Angels is often considered a spiritual sequel to Wong's earlier work, Chungking Express (1994), as it shares similar themes and visual motifs that captures a sense of urban loneliness and melancholy, portraying characters navigating the bustling cityscape of Hong Kong.
