Jazzing Cinema makes its return this May with a two-night program reimagining the mood, rhythm, and restless city nights of Wong Kar-wai’s “Chungking Express” through live jazz.
Organized by Gentle Pause in collaboration with local jazz ensemble Fountain de Chopin, the two-night jazz experience is set against the waterfront of K11 MUSEA, creating a cinematic space where longing and city rhythm translate into sound, light, and evocative visual fragments.
Taking place on May 1 and 2, 2026, from 6 PM to 7:30 PM at the Sculpture Park, the event offers a standing room experience with a dress code of green or yellow. Tickets are available via art-mate.net, priced at HK$498, with the first 350 tickets including one “Chungking Express” inspired cocktail.
Released in 1994, “Chungking Express” is a crime, romantic comedy-drama film starring Takeshi Kaneshiro and Tony Leung. The movie follows the story of two lovesick police officers and their relationships with women in Hong Kong. It is widely considered one of the best films ever made, as well as one of the best anthologies and romantic comedies.
More than 30 years since the film’s release, “Chungking Express” continues to resonate across generations, with Jazzing Cinema allowing it to be experienced in a modern format.
