A Companion to Wong Kar-wai

“This superb collection traces the local and global pathways of Wong Kar-wai’s films, parses their moods and sensory textures, and animates the histories they interweave. What emerges is a multi-faceted portrait of a director who defies categories.”
Jean Ma, Stanford University

“This splendid collective labor of love provides a window to the dazzling spectrum of the film art of Wong Kar-wai, one of the most exciting art-house directors in contemporary world cinema.”
Sheldon Lu, University of California, Davis

“Each essay in this multifaceted diamond of a collection shines a different light on the grandmaster Wong Karwai. From the Sinophone to queer, music to colour, his Shanghai roots to American dreams and more, the range is a kaleidoscopic delight.”
Chris Berry, King’s College London
