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 shotIn the Mood for Love and the snack bar where he shot Chungking Express. Discussing each of Wong's eleven films—fromAs Tears Go By and Days of Being Wild to 2046 and The Grandmaster—the conversations also explore Wong's trademark themes of time, nostalgia, and beauty, and their roots in his personal life.
The first book by Wong Kar Wai, and the first comprehensive look at his oeuvre, this stunning, lavishly illustrated volume is as evocative as walking into one of Wong's lush films. With more than 250 photographs and film stills and an opening critical essay by Powers, this volume is poised to become the film book of the year.

評分##隔瞭一年多終於翻完瞭。由於我對WKW的印象仍然停留在他拖延以及不靠譜上所以當我看到他自己對春光乍泄電影寓意的時候竟然覺得很扯… 還有Fallen Angels竟然是因為李嘉欣演技不好所以用那樣的拍攝手法笑到我瞭 收藏收藏!
評分##墨鏡受媽媽和老婆的影響真的很深啊 每次談起Esther都是這麼自豪 他說他每部電影裏的女人都有她的影子 非常虐狗瞭 還有和William&Chris的神仙搭檔(也許隻有他們能受得瞭彼此 他擁有世界上所有的幸運 but he deserves it
