Archaeon

All the leaves aren’t quite brown yet, but the sky is definitely grey so it’s the season for Aidan, Graham and Tim to revisit Wong Kar-Wai’s international breakthrough hit “Chungking Express”. Revitalising his career after the arduous shoot of “Ashes of Time”, it’s still one of the Hong Kong director’s most beloved films – but how will our assembled reviewers cope with that Mamas and Papas earworm?
