As Tears Go By

(Wong gok ka moon)
Wong Kar-Wai, Hong Kong, 1988

Well, I have “Take My Breath Away” stuck in my head now, for what that’s worth. Conventional and innovative at the same time, but you probably could have guessed that if you’ve read anything about this film or know Wong Kar-Wai. If you haven’t, well, Wong is my own personal representative of the “auteur theory,” actually not very well regarded at the film websites and message boards I frequent, which isn’t really that bad because it makes me feel like I am developing my own wacky pseudo-art-film taste.
