具体描述
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.

##隔了一年多终于翻完了。由于我对WKW的印象仍然停留在他拖延以及不靠谱上所以当我看到他自己对春光乍泄电影寓意的时候竟然觉得很扯… 还有Fallen Angels竟然是因为李嘉欣演技不好所以用那样的拍摄手法笑到我了 收藏收藏！

説來説去WKW的魅力在哪裏，風格化的影像、迂迴巧妙的音樂、響當當的演員陣營、臭味相投的老拍檔等等固然，但最最迷惑人（擾人）的，還是他戲裏呈現的無法跨越的一道道鴻溝，期望與落空，現實與想像，傲氣與恐懼，記著與忘卻，壓抑與釋放、面對與逃避。人與人，也是人與自己。「我以爲我們不會像他們那樣」、「我一直以爲我是贏的那個」，就算再看一百一千遍，我們仍會這麽以爲，以爲自己比較高尚、比較堅定、比較不屑一顧。其實你越以爲自己和別人不同，就越與人都一樣，那句"I want to be different, just like everybody"不衹是調侃。
