Have You Ever Forgotten Something? — Wong Kar-wai's Hong Kong 1 members · 10 movies

Time moves strangely in Wong Kar-wai's Hong Kong. Neon-lit corridors, missed connections, Tony Leung's face, Faye Wong blasting "California Dreamin'" out of a snack bar. This flock collects the complete WKW filmography — from the blurry-lens yearning of Days of Being Wild to the martial arts reverie of The Grandmaster — and the adjacent Hong Kong New Wave work that shares that particular ache. Longing as a cinematic language. Heartbreak as a visual style.
