Wong Kar-wai is a Hong Kong film director, screenwriter, and producer, born on July 17, 1958, in Shanghai, China. He is considered a contemporary auteur and ranks third on Sight & Sound’s 2002 poll of the greatest filmmakers of the previous 25 years. Wong’s films are characterized by nonlinear narratives, atmospheric music, and vivid cinematography involving bold, saturated colors. He began his career as a screenwriter for soap operas before transitioning to directing with his debut, the crime drama As Tears Go By (1988). While As Tears Go By was fairly successful in Hong Kong, Wong moved on from the crime genre and began to explore themes of love, loss, and memory in his succeeding films.
