With a sequence of brilliant features, director Wong Kar-Wai has become one of the most innovative, influential, and fashionable young filmmakers of his day.
His stunning breakthrough into film direction came in 1991 with the acclaimed 'Days Of Being Wild'. The films that have followed - 'Chungking Express' (1994), 'Fallen Angels' (1995), 'Happy Together' (1997), and 'In The Mood For Love' (2000) - have revealed Wong's core thematic obsessions (memory, rootlessness, desire), and spawned innumerable imitators due to their bold, experimental use of photography, music and editing.
Now Tony Rayns explores the trajectory of Wong's work through a series of detailed and revealing interviews with the man himself.
