John Powers is a writer and film critic. Powers covers film and politics for Vogue and Vogue.com and is the pop-culture critic and critic-at-large on NPR's Fresh Air with Terry Gross. His work has appeared in numerous publications, including Harper's, The Nation, Gourmet, The Washington Post, the New York Times, and L.A. Weekly, where he spent twelve years as a critic and columnist.
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.
##書很有質感(i.e., 重!特彆重!),其實文字不是很多,斷斷續續看完,加起來花的時間估計不多。這在電影類書籍裏算良心的,沒有煽情性的戲劇人生描寫,是根據時間順序一部部跟墨鏡聊他的電影,怎麼來的靈感,怎麼發展,啼笑皆非的過程,對演員的誠實評價等等,值得擁有。 我對...

評分##他的用功程度比孝賢還要誇張。現場不需要劇本也是他的用功方法之一。相當可怕的創作方式,等同於先榨乾自己,再榨乾劇組,最後再榨乾一次自己
