| | Wong Kar-wai - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Wong Kar-wai, (Traditional: 王家衛; Simplified: 王家卫; Hanyu Pinyin: Wáng Jiāwèi) (born July 17, 1958) is a Hong Kong based film director and auteur known for his unique visual style of romantic art films. | | | Wong Kar-wai has directed various short films, television commercials, music videos, or combinations thereof, all faithful to his style. | | | This has been a frequent source of trouble for his actors, his financial backers and many other people connected with his films, including sometimes himself. |

| | Wong Kar-wai |
| | Wong’s endless array of possible scenarios and the navigation of his protagonists’ internal and external journeys in turn constitute an unravelling and reconfiguring of spatio-temporal constrictions. | | | Wong depicts the transience of life and reveals that nothing is permanent in the worlds he creates. | | | Wong’s art of filmmaking is crucial in discussing an innovative and inimitable cinema that is at once collective and exclusive. |

| | Wong Kar-wai: Time, Memory, Identity |
| | Wong Kar-wai's justly acclaimed montage of the conclusion of the first part and the start of the second story is almost seamless. | | | In just four films which are highly derivative of existentialist European cinema and literature, Wong Kar Wai has imposed his Eastern sensibility and stamped them with his mark of authority. | | | However, Wong Kar-wai returns to the serious course when he subverts a well-known martial arts genre (wu hsia pien) film by saturating it with existential angst suffered by his questing sword-yielding protagonist in Ashes of Time. |

| | What is more, although Wong adheres to several of the stereotypical aspects of the gangster genre, his film works at a more poetic level than Woo’s spectacular “action” cinema. | | | Furthermore, the break between communist China and capitalist Hong Kong gave way to violent demonstrations between the years of 1966 and 1976 - the period of the Cultural Revolution in China (Ping-kwan 2000: 227). | | | This essay will explore the appropriation of the gangster genre by Hong Kong cinema, by mainly focusing on some of the more acclaimed directors to have worked in the genre, John Woo, Johnny To and Wong Kar-wai. |
