Re: 453 Chungking Express
Just ordered one myself. I'll be curious to find out of it's the cardboard-case version or the keep-case version (really hoping for the latter).

Managed to pick up the keep-case Blu version here in the UK for £12. Couldn't believe my luck.

Three years later and I hope we get a Tati situation with CE back in print in a box with other WKW films. December could be light but we usually average a boxset every announcement or so.

Re: 453 Chungking Express
...no? The last monthly announcements to include a box was for July, and there's already the biggest release ever in December. I definitely am under the belief it'll happen due to the Chungking/Playtime situation but there's no reason to assume they'd put a relatively high profile release in the dog days of December.

Re: 453 Chungking Express
Interesting! I hope everything works out and the film is more like Chungking Express than 2046. I liked 2046, but have had no desire to see it again after I saw it in the theater.

Re: 453 Chungking Express
I'm not sure how I feel about that. Chungking is one of my favorite films and I loved 2046, but for me the former succeeds because of its lovelorn youthfulness capturing a moment in these characters' lives that can't last. The film is like a pop song, fleeting but poignant. I'll certainly see this sequel if it ever completes production but Wong's always irked me a little in his desire to revisit past works throughout his oeuvre rather than letting well enough alone.
