Description

The long-awaited retrospective from the the world over renowned film director celebrated for his visually lush and atmospheric films. Wong Kar Wai is known for his romantic and stylish films that explore—in saturated, cinematic scenes—themes of love, longing, and the weight of memory. His style reveals a fascination with mood and texture, and a sense of place figures prominently. On this volume, the first on his entire body of work, Wong Kar Wai and author John Powers explore Wong’s complete oeuvre within the locations of a few of his most famous scenes. The book is structured as six conversations between Powers and Wong (each and every in a different locale), including the restaurant where he shot In the Mood for Love and the snack bar where he shot Chungking Express. Discussing each and every of Wong’s eleven films, the conversations also explore Wong’s trademark themes of time, nostalgia, and beauty, and their roots in his personal life. This primary book by Wong Kar Wai, lavishly illustrated with more than 250 photographs and film stills and featuring an opening essential essay by Powers, WKW: The Cinema of Wong Kar Wei is as evocative as walking into one in every of Wong’s lush films.
