| Wong Kar Wai (Pinyin : Wang Jiawei) Festival and Film Awards: Days of Being Wilds (1991) Cast - Leslie Cheung, Maggie Cheung, Andy Lau, Carina Lau, Rebecca Pan Nomination - Golden Horse Awards Taiwan - Best Director Award Won - Hong Kong Film Awards, Hong Kong - Best Director Award Set in 1960, the film center of the young, boyishly handsome Yuddy (Leslie Cheung), who learns from the drunken ex-prostitute who raised him that she is not his real mother. Hoping to hold onto him, she refuses to divulge the name of his real birth mother. The revelation shakes Yuddy to his very core, unleashing a cascade of conflicting emotions. Two women have the bad luck to fall for Yuddy. One is a quiet lass who works at a sport arena named Su Lizhen (Maggie), while the other is a glitzy showgirl named Mimi (Carina). Perhaps due to his unresolved Oedipal issues, he passively lets the two compete for him, unable or unwillingly to make a choice. As Lizhen slowly confides her frustration to a cop named Tide (Andy), he falls for her. The same is true for Yuddy's friend Zeb (Jacky), who falls for Mimi. Later Yuddy learns of his mother's whereabouts and heads out to the Philippines. Best Actor - Leslie Cheung. ChungKing Express (1994) Cast - Brigitte Lin, Takeshi Kaneshiro, Tony Leung, Faye Wong, Valerie Chow Nomination - 14th Hong Kong Film Awards 1995 - Best Screenplay Won - 14th Hong Kong Film Awards 1995 - Best Director Award Director Kar Wai presents two quirky tales of loneliness and love, loosely linked by a snack bar in the tourist section of Hong Kong. Cops and drugs are still part of the storyline, but this is no chop-socky action movie. Both male protagonists are cops, identified only by their badge numbers, who has recently been dumped by their girlfriends. One has the fixation for canned pineapple and expiration dates, the other talks to the inanimate objects in his apartment.The women they eventually fall for are a blonde-wigged heroin dealer and a shy counter girl who bops to "California Dreamin" after breaking in and cleaning the cop's apartment without his knowledge. Fallen Angels (1995) Cast - Leon Lai, Takeshi Kaneshiro, Charlie Yeung, Michelle Reis. Director - Wong Kar Wai. Wong Kar Wai's - Fallen Angels is a sequel of sorts to the director's 1994 U.S. breakthrough Chungking Express. Expanding on the latter's style, themes, and mood, Fallen Angels is set in the surreal milieu of urban, nighttime Hong Kong. The wisp of a narrative intercuts two story lines. The first follows a hitman (Leon) who finds that the assassin's life has slowly lost its allure. Complicating his life is his beautiful contact (Michelle Reis, a former Miss HK winner) who pines after him with fetishistic ardor, although the two have never met in their nearly three- year partnership. In other part of the city, Ho (Takeshi), a mute, boyish ex- convict, makes a living by sneaking into and running businesses after hours. Still living with his father who runs the Chungking Mansion hotel, the restless Ho falls for Cherry (Charlie), a woman getting over her breakup with the offscreen Johnny. |
