World of Wong Kar Wai

Famed Hong Kong filmmaker Wong Kar Wai has crafted some of the greatest films of the last half century. In this marathon, I endeavor to explore his filmography top to bottom, in large part thanks to the wonderful Criterion Collection boxset which includes 7 of the 11 titles on the list. While an important filmmaker in my life and the lives of many other cinephiles, I have actually only previously seen 2 of the films here, the two most significant: Chungking Express and In the Mood for Love. Each are knockout films and I very much look forward to discovering his other works, which I am sure are just as wonderful.

  1. As Tears Go By (1988)
  2. Days of Being Wild (1990)
  3. Chungking Express (1994)
  4. Ashes of Time (Redux) (1994)
  5. Fallen Angels (1995)
