Wong Kar-wai is a director you recognise aesthetically from the very first frame. His work is defined by the beauty of his images, his ability to build enveloping atmospheres, and his use of music as narrative. His central obsession: heartbreak and the loss of the loved one.
2046 (2004)
Trailer for one of Wong Kar-wai’s later features. The film marks an aesthetic peak in his career. Together with cinematographer Christopher Doyle he forms a duo that dazzles the viewer with visual richness and the poetry of the images, returning to the obsessions that have always accompanied him: solitude, love and memory.
