Jan 5, 2024 · From In the Mood for Love to My Blueberry Nights, where do the ten Wong Kar-Wai features measure when stacked up against each other?
- Editor
- FALLEN ANGELS - 95% Fallen Angels currently stands as Wong Kar-wai's highest-rated non-certified fresh movie on Rotten Tomatoes and it's easy to see why.
- IN THE MOOD FOR LOVE - 90% In the Mood for Love is one of Wong Kar-wai's most studied films due to how tragic and lovely it is at the same time. It's a love story but it also isn't as two married individuals discover that their respective spouses are having an affair, possibly even with each other.
- DAYS OF BEING WILD - 90% Speaking of wild rides, Days of Being Wild chronicles multiple love stories quite similar to that in Chungking Express. Structurally, it's a two-part movie where the first romance tale is that of a broken-hearted young woman who manages to find solace in the arms of a more mature and caring man but their love never manifests.
- CHUNGKING EXPRESS - 87% That Wong Kar-wai film that Quentin Tarantino liked so much that he distributed it to the Western audience? Chunking Express. It's one of Wong Kar-wai's earliest films too and follows an unconventional storytelling method which, in 1994, was rare for a romance movie.
- Fallen Angels (1995) - 95% Probably one of Wong Kar Wai’s most stylistic movies, Fallen Angels is what you get when style meets substance. Charting the course of two parallel stories intersecting briefly, the film is a stylistic marvel that’s backed with a strong and structured narrative.
- Days of Being Wild (1991) - 91% It’s a bit surprising to see Days of Being Wild rank higher than In The Mood For Love and Chungking Express. Having marked the beginning of a long collaborative journey between Wong Kar Wai and cinematographer Christopher Doyle, Days of Being Wild is considered as the first film of Wong’s unofficial trilogy, with In the Mood for Love being second and 2046 being third.
- In The Mood For Love (2000) - 91% Arguably one of Wong Kar Wai’s most famous films, In The Mood For Love is the gold standard of melancholic yearning and romance.
- Chungking Express (1994) - 88% Chungking Express is one of Wai’s most well-known films that came up quite early in his career. The film had a lasting impression on fans and filmmakers alike, with Quentin Tarantino distributing it to the Western audience.
- In The Mood For Love (2001) ‘Chungking Express’ peeks at contemporary Hong Kong with frantic gusto, whereas ‘In The Mood…’ looks at it through the eyes of two woebegone protagonists, whose melancholy tale of unrequited love doesn’t even need subtitles to get across.
- Chungking Express (1994) Like ‘Fallen Angels’ which came after it, ‘Chungking Express’ consists of two stories told in sequence and is more of a love letter to Hong Kong than a conventional romance.
- 2046 (2004) A lonely author writes stories about a train which leaves for 2046, a place where people went to recapture their lost memories. But no one has ever come back from the place, except the writer himself.
- Days of Being Wild (1990) Set in 1960s Hong Kong (his favorite era), ‘Days Of Being Wild’ is brooding mood piece about how one self-destructive person can affect the lives of those around him.
