0 reviews"Wong Kar-Wai" traces this immensely exciting director's perennial themes of time, love, & loss, & 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 "2046". It also includes his best known, highly honoured films, "Chungking Express", "Happy Together", & 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 & audio tracks to tell their story, rather than on traditional notions of character, dialogue, & plot. The question of Wong Kar-wai's use of genre film techniques in art films is also explored in depth.
It is a volume in the "Contemporary Film Directors" series, edited by James Naremore.
