To understand Wong Kar Wai's filmmaking, one really needs to understand his person... Same thing could be said about many if not all film makers but Wong's films are as idiosyncratic, ambiguous and often enigmatic as himself: born in Shanghai, grew up in HK during its economic boom period, mom loved cinemas, dad gave him Dream of Red Chamber, studied graphic design but better at photography, went into TV stations and started as a writer, steeped in HK international cosmopolitan culture yet deep down with a quintessential CHINESE cultural identity (the one book he most wants to turn into a film is Dream of Red Chamber, one of the Four Best Chinese Classic Novels of all time) I never like his films, I thought they are slow and often "pretentious"...but after a few interviews from youtube tonight (his latest TV series Blossoms has been a hit recently), I have realised I never understood his Red Chamber Dream nor his complexity that render his films these undefinable characters...
In the mood for love is such a cinematic masterpiece❤
I cannot thank you enough!
It's Fallen Angels for me, baby.
Nice Compilation❤ Thanks for making it🙌🏽♥️😊
Chungking Express is his best !!
