The Woman in the Blonde Wig
The Woman in the Blonde Wig
In 1994, Brigitte Lin starred as the Woman in the Blonde Wig in Chungking Express, directed by Wong Kar Wai. We meet her in the midst of orchestrating a drug-trafficking scheme, armoured with a Blanche DuBois wig, a classic trench, and red cat-eye sunglasses that shield her from the grating fluorescent lights of Kowloon, and the audience from a glare so piercing it could break the Richter scale. In a plot where there is little will and no way, we would merrily follow her down the most sinister street in Hong Kong just to watch her light a pink cigarette.
