Electric Shadow

Out of Print Watch: Criterion's "Chungking Express"

It's my sad duty to report that one of my favorite films by Wong Kar-Wai is now OOP in its Criterion Collection edition (per big black capitol letters on their website).

The commentary track from Tony Rayns, a major Wong authority, is quite good, as are the few other extras, which I would not bet on finding in any new edition from Miramax/Lionsgate that may be forthcoming.

Grab it while you can, and try not to spend more than $30 for the Blu-ray. Paying any more than that is highway robbery, like the "in-stock" listing from "Overstock Deals" priced at over $40. Most Best Buy and Fry's stores that stock these titles should have it for the time being.
