Wong Kar Wai Author: Kar-Wai Wong

ISBN: 9780847846177 Format: Hardcover Number Of Pages: 272 Published: 1 June 2016 Country of Publication: US Dimensions (cm): 22.9 x 30.5 x 3.3 Description: The long-awaited retrospective from the internationally 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 burden 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 body of work, 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 as six conversations between Powers and Wong (each in a different locale), including the restaurant where he shot "In the Mood for Love" and the snack bar where he shot "Chungking Express."
