Fans and critics alike perceive Wong Kar-wai (b. 1958) as an
enigma. His dark glasses, his nonlinear narrations, and his high
expectations for actors all contribute to an assumption that he
only makes art for a few highbrow critics. However, Wong's
interviews show this Hong Kong auteur is candid about the art of
filmmaking, even surprising his interlocutors by suggesting his
films are commercial and made for a popular audience. Wong's
achievements nevertheless feel like art-house cinema. His third
film, Chungking Express, introduced him to a global audience
captivated by the quick and quirky editing style. His Cannes
award-winning films Happy Together and In the Mood for Love
confirmed an audience beyond the greater Chinese market. His latest
film, The Grandmaster, depicts the life of a kung fu master by
breaking away from the martial arts genre. In each of these films,
Wong Kar-wai's signature style-experimental, emotive,
character-driven, and timeless-remains apparent throughout. This
volume includes interviews that appear in English for the first
time, including some that appeared in Hong Kong magazines now out
of print. The interviews cover every feature film from Wong's debut
As Tears Go By to his 2013 The Grandmaster.
