Wong Kar-Wai traces this immensely exciting directors perennial themes of time; love; and loss; and examines the political implications of his films; especially concerning the handover of former British colony Hong Kong to the Peoples Republic of China.This book is the first in any language to cover all of Wongs work; from his first film; As Tears Go By; to his most recent; the still unreleased 2046. It also includes his best?known; highly honored films; Chungking Express; Happy Together; and above all; In the Mood for Love. Most importantly; Peter Brunette describes the ways in which Wongs supremely visual films attempt to create a new form of cinema by relying on stunning; suggestive visual images and audio tracks to tell their story; rather than on traditional notions of character; dialogue; and plot. The question of Wong Kar-wais use of genre film techniques in art films is also explored in depth.

Review
2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Research in Design and Art Education: Issues and ExemplarsBy Laura L. AckermanThis was a well-written; well-rounded review of some of the current concerns going on within the realm of Art Education; however; I found some of the articles not pertinent to college level teaching methodologies. I did find enough to be of interest; and for someone who wants an overview of current thought; this would probably be a good book.
