Fallen Angels

Poetic cinema. An agent, in love with a lonely girl who is a killer, wears the mask of a mysterious and romantic beauty. She is always in bright outfits with impeccably styled hair, as if she just stepped off the runway. They know so much about each other, remember the scent of their perfumes, and feel each other from a distance, but do they need to meet?

The characters in Wong's films are lonely, yearning, all waiting for something, and it only flashes by the tail of a motorcycle in a night tunnel—and they live on, knowing that it is somewhere out there. Wong says that his main theme is rejection and the fear of rejection. People build life plans based on the fear of being rejected. That's why they don't meet. "Fallen Angels" takes the neon poetry of non-meeting to its logical extreme.
