A true dive into the heart of a nocturnal and disillusioned Hong Kong, Fallen Angels is of undeniable formal beauty. The last contract of a hitman that does not go as planned, a nocturnal and surreal wandering, a film that is both silent and very talkative… There are many things in, without doubt, one of the least loved films of its author.
Once again, Wong Kar-wai does not leave you indifferent. Disconcerting, poetic and radical, these Fallen Angels are to be rediscovered urgently. This is good timing: pre-orders for this 4K remastering are open. With HDR Dolby Vision label to boot.
