Fallen Angels by Wong Kar-Wai is a hypnotic neo-noir that exposes the hidden lives in bustling Hong Kong. Wong Chi-ming, a jaded hitman, wants to leave his violent existence behind and flees the underworld on his motorcycle. The film interweaves stories of lonely souls who, like motorcyclists, seek freedom in a world that holds them captive.
With mesmerizing neon imagery and a jazzy soundtrack, Wong creates a visual and emotional experience. The motorcycles in the film symbolize the search for escape, while the melancholy of the city and its inhabitants penetrates deeply. Fallen Angels is a poignant portrait of lost souls in search of freedom.
