Kar Wai Wong

Filmmaker; writes, produces, and directs films with plots that weave and interconnect characters and places (locations) into elaborate yet emotionally restrained visual poems on intricate contemporary conditions. Constructs his films: Happy Together (1997), Chunking Express (1994), 2046 (2004), In the Mood for Love (2000), My Blueberry Nights (2007), with a painterly sensibility. Working in China, Wong has received wide international recognition, including numerous 'best foreign film' awards. The British Film Institute's Sight & Sound Top Ten Directors list of modern times lists Wong at number three.
