Enhance your purchase
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 shot In the Mood for Love and the snack bar where he shot Chungking Express. Discussing each of Wong's eleven films, the conversations also explore Wong's trademark themes of time, nostalgia, and beauty, and their roots in his personal life. This first book by Wong Kar Wai, lavishly illustrated with more than 250 photographs and film stills and featuring an opening critical essay by Powers, is as evocative as walking into one of Wong's lush films.

Product description
Review
The highlight of [WKW: The Cinema of Wong Kar Wei] for me is the superbly gorgeous photographs and film stills, some 250 in total, all neatly collected in this beautiful hard cover volume. . . the huge collection of film stills and photographs alone is worth the price of the book; the conversations with WKW give the reader additional insights into the visions of one the most exciting directors working in cinema today. My highest recommendations."

Great gift for Kar-Wai fans
Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 26 September 2018Verified Purchase
It's an amazing gift for someone who likes Kar-Wai. Quality of the book is great, there are so many beautiful photos from Kar-Wai films. The book is quite big and heavy.

Great book about great director
Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 16 July 2016Verified Purchase
I am big fan of WKW so I really enjoy reading it. The book is formed by interviews between writer and WKW. There are some personal/intimate questions connected with movies, that part was something new for me. All the movies have been analysed but in a way that everybody can understand them.I would recomend it to anyone interested in WKW's movies. Wonderful photos!
