The Hand (2021)
手
Hong Kong, 1960s. Zhang, a shy tailor's assistant, is riveted by his imperious client Miss Hua. Upon meeting her, she seduces him to make sure he will truly remember her when designing her garments. After this intimate first encounter, a rapport develops between the two. Entry is for the theatrically released extended version, not the segment from the Eros anthology.
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.
