Les extremes se touchent? In Wong Kar Wai's strongest film
(arguably), the miraculous Chungking Express (1994), there are scenes
where extreme acceleration (time-lapse) is combined with extreme slow
motion in the same shot. Maybe the cinematic sublime is possible at
both ends of the spectrum, the extremely slow as well as the
extremely fast?
Any suggestions?
