Hmm, funny how when you experience any artist over time things can change. Chungking Express was my first Wong Kar Wai film, and maybe that wasn't the best introduction. Mostly because I'm beginning to think that was his best work. I liked that film a lot (doesn't hurt having Faye Wong and Tony Leung in it), and appreciated WKW's look and aesthetic. But since then I've seen In the Mood for Love and now Days of Being Wild. While I certainly appreciate the sights (young Carina Lau and Maggie Cheung in the same movie...yow!), they both kind of meander. Maybe that is the point. He does have a great way of expressing the vibe of living in Hong Kong through his use of doorways and hallways for framing. And I have 2046 in the queue.
