THE CINEMA OF WONG KAR WAI – Kar-Wai Wong
Wong Kar Wai is known for his elegant, romantic films that explore – in saturated, cinematic scenes – themes of love, nostalgia and the weight of memory. His style reveals a fascination with mood and texture, and a sense of place figures prominently. In this volume, the first on his entire oeuvre, Wong Kar Wai and writer John Powers explore Wong’s complete oeuvre in the locations of some of his most famous scenes. The book is structured into six conversations between Powers and Wong (each in a different location), including the restaurant where he shot In the Mood for Love and the bar where he shot Chungking Express. Discussing each of Wong’s eleven films, the conversations also explore Wong’s signature themes of time, nostalgia and beauty, and their roots in his personal life. This first Wong Kar Wai book, lavishly illustrated with more than 250 photographs and film stills and an opening critical essay by Powers, is as evocative as stepping into one of Wong’s lush films.
