Wong Kar-wai is without a doubt the most acclaimed director to ever come out of Hong Kong. In this video I intend to provide an introduction to his work through looking at how his aesthetic developed over his first five films.
I’ve designed this video to be as accessible as possible, so whether you’re already familiar with his work, or had never even heard of his name until now, why not watch and learn a thing or two about one of Asia’s most distinctive directors.
Thank you for watching this video, I hope you enjoy it. This is my first video essay so I appreciate any feedback you may have, as I am eager to improve in any way I can. Thank you to Archer Green for letting me use his channel as an outlet. I've been eager to try my hand at making a video for a while now so I really appreciate it.
I hope to see you next time, where I will delve further into Kar-wai’s career.
