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.
##终于读完了~当年饭桌上LOOK推荐,九苍说买来看看,我腆着脸说给我带本,然后17年SIFF他给我背回来了,在家里躺了两年半,总算读完~非常硬核的创作谈,WKW聊创作一点没有拍电影的百转千回...墨镜王是文艺青年的产品经理,文艺青年并不清楚他们的需求在哪里,墨镜王却天生能捕捉到那种“虚渺”的诉求。台词、人物、电影化场景都是表象,情节更是可以在剪辑台上靠着旁白来倒着编;从《阿飞正传》起就是拿电影当“诗与远方”去拍,将传承、被拒绝/被接受、遗忘这些虚缈的主题(也是所谓“文艺”的主题)以虚缈的方式展开、揭示;就算是政治的内核,也可以被锁在一个同性的故事中...有的人拍摄情节故事,有的人打磨人物性格,有的人却着意营造让人怀念、稍纵即逝的氛围...

评分##有料且裝幀美好,收藏佳品,看得停不下來。the true self of an artist can never be copied,所以能窺探到墨鏡的創作心態,已經很滿足了。加上一些有趣的邊角八卦,very enjoyable book。還有作者雖然還是有點太西方思維以致有時get不到王家衛電影裡某些東方元素,但整體而言非常懂行且有品味。btw 跟natives的英文寫作一對比我覺得我的是災難啊啊啊
