书籍介绍
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.

精彩摘录
- "The beauty in a film is more than how it looks visually. A good film should have an aftertaste: maybe a shot, or a line, or even a moment.Something that stays with the audience for a very long time"
- "Later on, I began to have a habit of playing music while shoot-ina because it sets a rhythm and a mood. The rhythm creates the dance between camera and cast In the Mood for Love is as you say, almost like a musical."
- "But the character changes,even though the music does not. Fellini once said, Show thechanges through the unchanged. "A song is something morethan just the music 用不变来衬托变，除了剧情之外更形而上的是音乐。"
- "I was into Latin American literature by then and took inspiration from Gabriel Garcia Marquez's novel Love in the Time of Cholera. To me, Leslie's character was like the cholera, the epidemic that changes the course of the two women's lives."
- "I was so moved when I saw it that I totally forgot about the helicopter shot. It was so beautiful and dreamy that it totally captured the essence of the last moment of Leslie's character——the last look a bird has at eternity. And that's Chris. Even when everybody is dead, he'll find you something ma"
- "I met with Alan and said, "I know you want me to make films like As Tears Go By." And he said, "Yes, because it's good for you. It's proven, it works, it's what the market wants. Why not take this path?" And I said, "I cannot go back. It's gone.""
- "You have to understand that I came out of television, which is all about lines and plots. But cinema is not about lines and plots. It's about behavior. You learn more about a person from the way he behaves than from what he says because words can be lies. Tony's character talks like he's a nice guy "
- "You see, the way I write my scripts is always very direct and straightforward. I hate having too much detail. It gets in the way of pacing. I keep things simple and relevant to the scene. Action, lines, mood-basically a shot list. I seldom make actual shot lists anymore, nor do I believe in making p"

姜文和巩俐演中文版《欲望号街车》，王家卫也是够能想。
出个中文版 我照样买
film is a behavior, not plot and line

终于读完了~当年饭桌上LOOK推荐，九苍说买来看看，我腆着脸说给我带本，然后17年SIFF他给我背回来了，在家里躺了两年半，总算读完~非常硬核的创作谈，WKW聊创作一点没有拍电影的百转千回...墨镜王是文艺青年的产品经理，文艺青年并不清楚他们的需求在哪里，墨镜王却天生能捕捉到那种“虚渺”的诉求。台词、人物、电影化场景都是表象，情节更是可以在剪辑台上靠着旁白来倒着编；从《阿飞正传》起就是拿电影当“诗与远方”去拍，将传承、被拒绝/被接受、遗忘这些虚缈的主题（也是所谓“文艺”的主题）以虚缈的方式展开、揭示；就算是政治的内核，也可以被锁在一个同性的故事中...有的人拍摄情节故事，有的人打磨人物性格，有的人却着意营造让人怀念、稍纵即逝的氛围...
图好，片好
