THE EXPERIENCE
Grab a can of pineapple juice and crank up Faye Wong’s cover of “Dreams”—we’re celebrating 30 years of the Wong Kar-wai masterpiece Chungking Express. A touching study of love, connection and heartbreak, the film’s emotional power feels just as raw today as its 1994 release. Portland band The Fourth Wall will play a set inspired by the film.
ON SCREEN: Chungking Express
1994. Directed by Wong Kar-Wai. Runtime: 102 minutes. Rated PG-13.
Two melancholic Hong Kong policemen fall in love: one with a mysterious underworld figure, the other with a beautiful and ethereal server at a late-night restaurant.
ON STAGE: The Fourth Wall
The Fourth Wall are a melodic noise rock band from Portland, OR, originally from Oahu, HI.
What is the price we pay for joy, and is it worth it? The thread of this question runs taut through The Fourth Wall’s Return Forever, a fever dream of a record that unearths unresolved complexities of the immigrant experience in nine chapters. Throughout the album, songwriter Stephen Agustin circles a fire that feels so bright and yet so unknowable; there are not many answers to be found, only a disruption, the emergence of a world seen with new eyes.
