I <3 WKW... ewww
I'm obsessed with Wong Kar Wai... I'm watching his BMW film The Follow for the second time in a row and have had the In The Mood for Love DVD in my DVD player almost 24/7.
Sight & Sound named him the most influential filmmaker of the 90s and I'm not sure how true that is because I don't think he's gotten the exposure he deserves and thus hasn't been able to have a huge influence... maybe I'm wrong.
Anyway, he's easily one of my favorite filmmakers and I'm so excited for 2046 to come out. For anybody unfamiliar with him some good stuff is Chungking Express, In The Mood for Love, Happy Together, Fallen Angels, pretty much anything he touches... In the Mood for Love especially.
It's so elegantly and beautifully filmed that (as I told Eoin) when I watch it I get the same feeling in my stomach I get when I see a girl I have a crush on. His BMW thing has awesome cinematography and especially awesome editing during the part with the guy following the girl.
Drool. I'm going to watch In the Mood for Love again now.
