Our WORLD OF WONG KAR WAI series begins with Days of Being Wild in a new 4K Restoration!
Oct 7 & 8 ONLY! [1]
With his lush and sensual visuals, pitch-perfect soundtracks, and soulful romanticism, Wong Kar Wai has established himself as one of the defining auteurs of contemporary cinema. The first film in a loosely connected, ongoing cycle, DAYS OF BEING WILD is a ravishing, existential, dreamlike drift through the Hong Kong of the 1960s in which a band of wayward 20-somethings pull together and push apart in a cycle of frustrated desire.
Included in this three-part series are IN THE MOOD FOR LOVE and CHUNGKING EXPRESS, to be shown in the coming weeks.
Opening Friday, MOONAGE DAYDREAM illuminates the life and genius of David Bowie, one of the most prolific and influential artists of our time.
