    Had a chilled movie night, a welcome return to Wong Kar Wai's 2046, his audacious remix of and sequel to earlier films Days Of Being Wild and In The Mood For Love Chris Doyle's cinematography is eye candy, with moving performances by Tony Leung and Zhang Ziyi, beautiful melancholy, lovely music

    Man, I've been doing a really bad job with movie-watching this month. Days of Being Wild, which I've just finished watching, is the first film I saw this month. Returning to Wong Kar-Wai is always a pleasure with how much his movies speak to me. Tempestuous characters, loneliness in a big city...

    134.) 2046 (2004) Red's movie night Wong Kar-wai's grand epilogue to Days of Being Wild and In the Mood for Love. A poetic work about heartbreak and the desire to recapture memories told gloriously through amazingly entrancing retro-futurist visions. Probably his most ambitiously-shot film.

    112.) Days of Being Wild (1990) Red's movie night A spellbinding film about longing and using chauvinistic charisma as a means to hide how truly empty you are as a person. Leslie Cheung plays such a cad in this movie and yet you can't help but feel sorry for him by the end.

    In 1990, Wong Kar-wai released DAYS OF BEING WILD, a melancholy and meditative film about love and regret. Its cast included Tony Leung and Jacky Cheung, and it grossed HK$9.7M. It spawned a wacky 1992 parody film, DAYS OF BEING DUMB, which starred Tony Leung and Jacky Cheung. It grossed HK$9.8M.

    I came across this movie frame (Days of Being Wild, Wong Kar-Wai) and I've been trying to nail the perspective of the drawing with no success (drawing perspective rulers on the most visible straight lines). I feel like I'm brute-forcing this. What method is there to analyze these kind of shots?

    The scene with Tony Leung in Days of Being Wild (Wong Kar Wai - 1990) was like a teaser in the film. Leung practiced this scene so many times that every movement in that tiny space was in his muscle memory. Such a wonderful actor <3

    Watched Wong Kar-wai’s Days of Being Wild I wasn’t unimpressed with it, but I wasn’t as blown away as I expected to be, I think. It was good, very dream-like at times, which aided the feeling of hopelessness that prevails through most of the film. Its message was pretty clear, I just wanted *more*

    2. Days of Being Wild (3.5/5): i didn’t like the main male character (performance or character itself) and that made me not really get into this movie. a mistake to have andy lau as a secondary character when he has so much chemistry with maggie cheung and would have made this make sense

    I'd say yes to those between "Days of Being Wild" and "In the Mood for Love". But, in all honesty, the film quality went down after that and, perhaps not coincidentally, I don't find their soundtracks memorable.

    Days of Being Wild (1990, dir. Wong Kar-wai) This is where the Wong Kar-wai film begins to truly materialize, an ethereal film about love, longing, and loneliness in 1960s Hong Kong. A stark improvement over As Tears Go By, which is already quite good. 8/10

    165. Days of Being Wild (film): an earlier WKW film, likely more modest of a production than what would be to come but plays into it as something more dreary than the heightened sensuality of his later stuff. Plot feels too wispy even still, not quite at his best, but it’s still WKW. 7-8/10

    I suppose you might call the dashingly handsome "Yuddy" (Leslie Cheung) a bit of a Lothario. He has good looks and charm, and he sails through life thinking only of himself. His ideal existence comes to a bit of an abrupt halt, though, when his alcoholic courtesan of a mother "Rebecca" (Rebecca Pan) reveals to him in a drunken stupor that she isn't actually his mother at all. The rug has now been pulled from under his cocky feet and he now embarks on a rather self destructive journey to find…
