The Cultural Aesthetic of Wong Kar-Wai
Read this discussion about his movies focusing the characters and the culture.
The Cultural Aesthetic of Wong Kar-Wai Matt Bautch Emerson College In the films of Hong Kong director Wong Kar-Wai, most images flash across the screen, appear and disappear before the viewer’s eyes in quick flashes of recognition
The fact that most of these shots were not extensively pre-planned serves only as a testament to Wong’s skills as an improvisationist, his astounding ability to put a shot together, on the spot, that has all the depth and meaning of a Hitchcock or Kubrick shot that took two weeks to plan and perfect
DISPLACED IDENTITIES AND ALIENATION All of Wong’s protagonists seem to be displaced or alienated in some way
Just as Hong Kong is an intersection where numerous cultural influences interact, merge, and conflict, so are Wong’s films littered with contrasting cultural signifiers that interact, merge, and conflict
As well, the music, both diegetic and non-diegetic, that Wong employs, seems to come from all parts of the globe
Instead of incense sticks and paper lamps, Wong’s China is full of American business logos and women with dyed blonde hair
This explosion is highly evident in Wong’s fast-moving camera and his aesthetic use of shots form and of moving vehicles
Cross-Country Cross-Dressers / `Wong Foo' travels a familiar road
Review by Edward Guthmann, Chronicle staff critic.
SFGate News Web by Cross-Country Cross-Dressers `Wong Foo' travels a familiar road Friday, September 8, 1995 TO WONG FOO, THANKS FOR EVERYTHING, JULIE NEWMAR: Comedy
That's the inspiration for ``To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything, Julie Newmar, '' a $30 million excuse for Patrick Swayze, Wesley Snipes and John Leguizamo to play New York City drag queens -- serious drag queens, mind you -- who decide to drive to Hollywood and find themselves stuck in the backwater burg of Snydersville, Neb
Directed by Britain's Beeban Kidron (``Used People''), and opening today at Bay Area theaters, ``Wong Foo'' is suspiciously similar to ``Priscilla, Queen of the Desert'' in its premise of three flamboyant queens on the road
(For the record, it was written and conceived before the Australian-made, Oscar-winning ``Priscilla'' made a splash in the U.S.) Inevitably, ``Wong Foo, '' which was written by first-time screenwriter Douglas Carter Beane, will suffer comparisons to ``Priscilla.'' So let's get this out of the way: It's not as raunchy as ``Priscilla'' (it's rated PG-13), it doesn't have musical numbers, none of the characters is a transsexual and the vehicle of choice isn't a tour bus but a 1967 Cadillac convertible -- a yellow ``land yacht'' with fenders and sass
Space Age Bachelor: Wong Kar-Wai at the Airport
Review of his directing work, focuses on his move "Happy Together".
Check out, from the creators of Space Age Bachelor Magazine Wong Kar-Wai at the Airport By Jason Anderson Anguish and alienation have rarely seemed as attractive as they do in the films of Wong Kar Wai
While they have the advantage of actually knowing each other, the lovers in Happy Together, Wong's latest, are only marginally better off
The flighty Ho Po-Wing-played by Leslie Cheung, best known in the West for Chen Kaige's Farewell My Concubine-and the sullen Lai Yiu-Fat-Tony Leung of John Woo's Hard Boiled and most of Wong's previous films-make love only once, vigorously and in the first scene
Wong-who won Best Director in '97 at Cannes-and cinematographer Chris Doyle fill the film with images that are both sumptuous and lurid, graceful and hyperkinetic
The variable camera speeds allow Wong to quicken or freeze moments, hold them just a little longer like you sometimes wish you could in life, emphasizing the rhythms in the characters' actions
With his handicam Doyle dances around the characters as they dance, continuing with Wong's penchant for nimble-footed characters
If Happy Together is not as jaw-droppingly stylish as Fallen Angels nor as unconventional or lyrical in its narrative as Days of Being Wild, it is the most passionate of Wong's films
The Cinema of Wong Kar-wai - A 'Writing Game'
A collection of statements about his career and his filmography compiled by Fiona A.
Villella.
The Cinema of Wong Kar-wai - A 'Writing Game' compiled by Fiona A
Villella Collaborating with stock company (Chris Doyle, William Chang, Maggie Cheung, Tony Leung) and shooting haphazardly, in constant improvisational mode, Wong Kar-wai has brought to our cinema screens over the last ten years images of modern living, urban alienation, and forlorn love in a dazzlingly intimate, fluid, poetic and fragmented formal register
A call was recently put out for impressionistic contributions on any aspect of Wong's career: a single film, a particular character, a moment, a stylistic aspect, the way his work gets critically discussed, his key collaborators, his shooting style and so on
The Entries: Happy Together Ashes of Time Chungking Express Fallen Angels WONG KAR-WAI filmography: As Tears Go By (1989), Days of Being Wild (1990), Ashes of Time (1994), Chungking Express (1994), Fallen Angels (1995), Happy Together (1997), In the Mood for Love (2000) Backside Wong Kar-wai's In the Mood for Love is a radiant homage to the neglected posterior
Creation Is it really possible for a commercial filmmaker to create his work in the same way as a novelist or a playwright? In the Mood For Love may be the most luxuriant film because it seems that Wong Kar-wai had the luxury himself to endlessly recreate the work until a 'final' version appeared

That's what makes the wild Hong Kong auteur one of cinema's great romantics Throbbing may well be the perfect word to describe Wong Kar-wai's frenetic universe
Wong has been Hong Kong's reigning maverick for years, but Americans are just getting to know his inspired collaborations with cinematographer Christopher Doyle
Do you associate yourself completely with Hong Kong? WONG KAR-WAI: I was born and raised in cities, and I think I'm more interested in making films about cities in general, whereas most Chinese films are about the countryside

Film: Wong Kar Wai
Provides a short essay about his work by Will Aitken.
Wong Kar Wai again and again and again >> The Hong Kong auteur's work is highlighted in a trilogy by WILL AITKEN The films of Wong Kar Wai are based on the same thing happening over and over again
Wong Kar Wai's movies deal in repetition and reversal
The works of Wong Kar Wai strike repetition's gong ceaselessly
It could be said that Wong Kar Wai's fractured narratives play on the re-lived moment and the disappointment of movement without progress
Wong Kar Wai's characters ritualize emptiness, making it baroque with repetition and thwarted desire
In the world of Wong Kar Wai repetition becomes what memory was--repetition remembers forward, memory recedes
Wong Kar Wai has emphasized that he is 'always distressed by the possible outcome' of the things he didn't do
Often Wong Kar Wai's films offer two stories not one
Happy Together is one of three films--the most recent half of his output--in the truncated Wong Kar Wai retrospective that begins this week at the Parallèle
If Fallen Angels sounds vaguely familiar, it's because it's a spin-off of Chungking Express (1995), Wong Kar Wai's first international arthouse success, which featured a glamourous, trenchcoated hitwoman and a timid snackbar waitress who spends all her time listening to the Mamas and Papas sing 'California Dreaming.' Happy Together , about a gay couple who can neither live together nor survive apart, won Wong Kar Wai the best director award at Cannes last year

San Francisco Examiner critic Philip Elwood has named Wong '...among the great saxophonists of his generation.' Author: Larry Kelp Source: The East Bay Express, October 22, 1999 Gathering of Ancestors At: La Pena Cultural Center, Sunday, October 17
Saxophonist Francis Wong has played a leadership role in the Asian-American jazz movement, crafting political music on human rights themes, as well as playing activist roles in San Francisco's Asian lmprov record company and the annual Asian American Jazz Festival and working with Jon Jang, Mark Izu, and Anthony Brown on large-scale band projects
While there's plenty to get up in arms about, on Sunday Wong's trio Gathering of Ancestors presented no overtly political themes instead digging into its member's ethnic heritages, combining and intertwining them like threads in the musicians' offstage conversations
