Payne Following As Tears Go By Days of Being Wild Ashes of Time Chungking Express Fallen Angels (1995), and Happy Together laissez-faire The issue infuses even those movies that never explicitly acknowledge any uneasiness toward national identity, just as the Great Depression implicitly infused all Hollywood (and international) cinema of the 1930s. So, issues of nationalism in Hong Kong film are (to use an overworked phrase) always/already present. exemplified by such adrenaline-pumping directors as Tsui Hark ( Peking Opera Blues , 1986), Ching Siu-Tung ( A Chinese Ghost Story , 1987), Ringo Lam ( City on Fire , 1987), and John Woo ( Bullet in the Head Despite this, Wong Kar-Wai has reportedly announced that he intends to remain in Hong Kong.

EëëçíéêÜ English Screening Programme Screening Theatres ... Sponsors WONG KAR-WAI TRIBUTE Perhaps the only fixed points around which everything revolves are nostalgia and memory: this guardian of emotions. By directing the endless adventures of the heart, the convulsions of a love which is often extinguished before it is even born, Wong Kar-wai talks in a fundamental way about the individualÕs relation to experience, about the domination of the past over the present, about the "elimination" of identity, about intimacy through distance (the distance of the gaze), about memory (as stationary time) and about time (as a continuous flow), about the weight of memory and catharsis, and about liberation from the bonds of the past. An event (experience) and its reverberations, and its reflections in a person's memory: it is nostalgia which Wong is filming and it is from its domino that the film's heroes are called upon to escape. As they sink into a deeply subjective universe, where the experience and the memory of nostalgia imprisons their existence, they struggle to express their emotions as clearly as they can, externalizing all the tempests, all the troubles of the heart, and confessing the passions of the soul. It is not surprising therefore, that each of Wong's films invariably ends in a confession. The character who, almost silent throughout the film, has suffered the torments and suffering of love, is now freed through the act of confession: Maggie Cheung as Peach Blossom (in

Though I didn't possess tickets, I went along to watch the arrivals... it turned out only WKW arrived (i.e. I didn't see any of the main stars) and I picked a bad spot (he got out the other side of the car).

Wong Kar-wai Peter Brunette Exploring Wong Kar-wai's groundbreaking use of sound and visual technique to create a new form of cinema Wong Kar-wai traces this immensely exciting director's perennial themes of time, love, and loss, and examines the political implications of his films, especially concerning the handover of former British colony Hong Kong to the People's Republic of China. This book is the first in any language to cover all of Wong's work, from his first film, As Tears Go By, to his most recent, the still unreleased . It also includes his best-known, highly honored films, Chungking Express, Happy Together, and above all, In the Mood for Love. Most importantly, Peter Brunette describes the ways in which Wong's supremely visual films attempt to create a new form of cinema by relying on stunning, suggestive visual images and audio tracks to tell their story, rather than on traditional notions of character, dialogue, and plot. The question of Wong Kar-wai's use of genre film techniques in art films is also explored in depth. A volume in the Contemporary Film Directors series, edited by James Naremore

Color, 2000, 97 mins. / Written and Directed by Wong Kar-wai / Starring Tony Leung, Maggie Cheung, Ping Lam Siu / Music by Mike Galasso / Cinematography by Christopher Doyle and Mark Lee Ping-bin Criterion (MSRP $39.98) / Letterboxed (1.85:1) (16:9) / Dolby Digital 5.0 Originally planned under the title Summer in Beijing , this evocative drama continues the string of Wong Kar-wai masterpieces named after pop standards (e.g., Happy Together ). Though the director already enjoyed a solid arthouse and cult reputation, In the Mood for Love garnered his widest mainstream acclaim thanks to its dizzying atmosphere and the star power of its two leads, a period dressed pairing made in movie heaven. In 1962 Hong Kong, newspaper man Chow (Tony Leung) and his wife move into an apartment where another couple by chance is also settling in down the hall. Left alone to unpack due to his wife's perpetual absence, Chow strikes up a silent rapport with the other couple's female half, Li-zhen (Maggie Cheung), a secretary whose husband also leaves her constantly in solitude. They pass each other on the stairs and in the hall, but significant clues lead to an encounter in a noodle shop where they realizes their respective spouses are having an affair. The tentative friendship which blossoms between them, indicating a potential for passion which may never erupt. The succulent, dreamy air of

View Trailer You started making 2046 before In the Mood For Love. Why did it take so long to finish? At what point did the two films become linked? It's because of the room numbers. One day when I was shooting 'In The Mood For Love' in Bangkok, in the hotel room, the room that Tony and Maggie spent their time in, I realised the room number was like 3-0-something and I said why don't we put it as 2046? At first it was like a joke, but for me, psychologically, the two films are related. Then the structure of '2046' began to change and evolved around this point. So now these two stories had something in common and the character played by Tony became the link between the two film. At first we didn't have this character of the writer in '2046', the original character was a postman.

- reviewed by Colin Odell and Michelle le Blanc book review WHAT'S NEW FILM REVIEWS BOOK REVIEWS FEATURES ... book reviews : Wong Kar-Wai: Auteur Of Time by Stephen Teo Wong Kar-Wai: Auteur Of Time Stephen Teo Wong Kar-Wai: Auteur Of Time Stephen Teo BFI London, 2005 Related Links Wong Kar-Wai info site Merchandise Links Wong Kar-Wai: Auteur Of Time - Amazon.co.uk According to the book, what sets his films apart are their subversion and extension of genre conventions. As Tears Go By is ostensibly a Triad/gangster film but is infused with a camaraderie that goes beyond gang loyalty and develops complex relationships. Ashes of Time (1994) turns the wu xia film into a meditation on time and fractured reality by its elliptical (and, Teo argues, literary) structure - a bold film that at once alienates art-house viewers and genre aficionados (but enthralls those who happen to be both). Chungking Express (1994) takes its roots in noir film but infuses it with characters whose alienation allows them to emote to, say, a can of pineapples with the right sell-by date rather than to people. Wong Kar-Wai: Auteur of Time is a long overdue analysis of one of world cinema's most acclaimed, eclectic and exacting auteurs, providing an insight into his films that enhances the understanding of both the texts and the cultural context of his work. It covers both the visual style and the literary heritage of the films, has plenty of background anecdote and a wider look at the Wong Kar-Wai 'team' of collaborators. As such it is an invaluable work on one of the most exciting talents working today. Where it is of less depth, however, is in the discussion of pre-cinema works, screenplays and supervised projects (particularly considering that his advertising/pop-video work is discussed). Also the index has several omissions and incorrect page references, which is annoying, but overall these are minor quibbles to what is an essential purchase for anyone interested in Hong Kong or world cinema.
