The Master of Time: Wong Kar-wai in America
by noteworthy at 5:26 pm EST, Nov 19, 2006

Highly anticipated!

The consecration of a fleeting, fugitive moment is one of Mr. Wong’s specialties. Perhaps more than any filmmaker since Alain Resnais, his great subject is time — or more specifically lost time. His rhapsodic movies, haunted by voice-over ruminations and swathed in lush regret, seem to transpire in the realm of memory. People and places are mourned even as they are captured on camera.

I hope Wong's collaboration with Darius Khondji is as fruitful as that with Christopher Doyle. But maybe that will have to wait; Khondji explains about the tight shooting schedule for "My Blueberry Nights":

“It’s not as perfect as his last two movies. There’s no time for perfection.”

Those last two were perfect, cinematographically, at least. Still, it looks like there will be some great shots of the American West.
