Another perk of working at a used bookstore! I have been wanting this Wong Kar Wai boxset for a while, but it is out of print and is always so expensive. I found out that it was priced at one of our locations in Michigan just a day before I happened to check (yes, I do routine Wong Kar Wai searches when I’m at the register and it is slow). I ordered it over the phone, and it was only $25 with my discount.
I got to chatting with the store manager while I was ordering it. I told her how excited I was and how long I had been wanting this boxset. When it arrived yesterday, I saw that she had written little thank you notes all over the box. What a sweetie! I am so excited to watch them (especially As Tears Go By, because I have actually never gotten a chance to see it). Though, I now have three copies of Chungking Express :)

“The first film I worked with Tony Leung was Days of Being Wild. He is a quiet man who likes to smoke a lot. Somehow, we get along well and have worked on four subsequent films. We communicate in rather peculiar ways. Most of the time, we don’t have a complete script. Often, I give Tony a song or some music as reference. I don’t know whether my working style fits Tony, but throughout these years, he seldom complains. Most of the time, when I ask him to listen to a piece of music, he would do so sitting in a corner, holding a cigarette and peeking at me with a devilish smile. Osamu Dazai once wrote a short story entitled “A Handsome Devil with a Cigarette.” I had always thought it was a great title for a film. I like Dazai a lot. Tony reminds me of him.” - Wong Kar-Wai
“You always need to see the finished movie, because when you are doing it you don’t have any idea what the story is about. You can play the character one way, then play him a different way the next day. Or maybe, after three months’ shooting, he’ll tell you, ‘This is not the character we want. Maybe we’ll change it.’ Or, ‘The story is totally different now.’ It’s very interesting.” - Tony Leung

Ever since she left, everything in the apartment is sad. I have to comfort them all before I go to sleep.

-Would you let a person on board with a boarding pass like this? It’s dated today, but it got blurred in the rain. I don’t know where it’s taking me. Do you?
-No idea, but I’ll give you another.
-Great.
-Where do you want to go?
-Wherever you want to take me.Chungking Express (1994)
