Frequently asked questions

What is Fallen Angels about? Toggle content

Fallen Angels is a 1995 Hong Kong crime film directed by Wong Kar-wai. The movie follows two interconnected storylines that take place in the bustling city of Hong Kong. The first storyline revolves around a hitman named Wong Chi-ming (Leon Lai) and his "partner" (Michelle Reis), who work together as hired guns for various clients. Despite their professional relationship, the partner is secretly infatuated with Wong and tries to get closer to him, even going through his trash to learn more about him. When Wong runs into an old classmate on a bus, he is forced to confront his own loneliness and the emptiness of his life as a killer. The second storyline follows a mute ex-convict named Ho Chi-mo (Takeshi Kaneshiro), who lives with his father and works odd jobs at night. Ho's life intersects with the first storyline when he encounters the hitman's partner at a bar, and later when he meets Charlie (Karen Mok), a woman who is searching for her missing boyfriend. As Ho navigates the seedy underbelly of Hong Kong's nightlife, he finds himself drawn to Charlie, but their relationship is complicated by their vastly different backgrounds and personalities. The two storylines eventually merge in the film's climax, as the characters come together in a dramatic showdown that explores themes of love, loneliness, and redemption. With its unique blend of action, crime, and romance elements Fallen Angels has become known for its dreamlike atmosphere...
