This study of Hong Kong cult director Wong Kar-wai provides an overview of his career and in-depth analysis of his seven feature films to date. Teo probes Wong's cinematic and literary influences - from Martin Scorseseto Haruki Murakami - yet shows how Wong transcends them all.
Stephen Teo is associate professor at the Wee Kim Wee School of Communication and Information, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore. He is the author of several books, including Hong Kong Cinema: The Extra Dimensions (1997), Chinese Martial Arts Cinema: The Wuxia Tradition (2009), and Eastern Approaches to Western Film: Asian Reception and Aesthetics in Cinema (2019).
