Comparing the Narrative and Formal Devices of ChungKing Express and A Bout de Souffle Wong Kar Wai’s movie ‘ChungKing Express’ bears many similarities to Godard’s ‘A Bout de Souffle’. To start with, Wai employs a number of cinematic techniques, obviously derived from the French New Wave, such as for example the jump-cut which is evidently taken from Godard’s film.

The award winning film, Chungking Express, is a tale of two stories told in sequence, each about a lovesick Hong Kong policeman contemplating his relationship with a woman.

Most of the parishioners are clueless to why he wears it and some try to imagine why he would ever
