we are giants, lying here,
who can make the forest quiver.


"I believe a strong
woman may be
stronger than a man,
particularly if she
happens to have love
in her heart. I guess
a loving woman is
indestructible."

July 28th wongkar-wai: “In the Mood For Love may be the most luxuriant film because it seems that Wong Kar-wai had the luxury himself to endlessly recreate the work until a ‘final’ version appeared. He seems to have been able to film and refilm, think and rethink, and use a multitude of apparently interchangeable collaborators (most notably cinematographers), before he has pronounced the film, for the moment, at an end. Part of his process of ‘elaboration’ has also been to remove and eliminate, most notably the physical love scene. When it was ‘finished’ he continued to elaborate by issuing the film’s ‘visuals’ in a book, Duidao (a novella by Hong Kong writer Liu Yichang), which tells a different story. It exists like one of those little fish that live in the big fish’s mouth. The In the Mood For Love website goes beyond the usual puffery and stills. Here, we can find, under the ‘Kitchen’ link for instance, details of Maggie’s meals when dining alone, Maggie’s summer and winter meals for her home and her snacks and fruits home according to the seasons. I wonder, do Wong Kar-wai’s films ever cease being created? Chungking Express started life as a Chinese art-house noir and went on to become both a Tarantino video (that surely has negative implications) and the inspiration for a Tarantino movie. After Tarantino, it has dribbled into the consciousness of a thousand actual and would be filmmakers some not a million miles away. Then (in rebellion?) Wong Kar-wai turns everything upside down again and makes the coolest, most enigmatic love story in which so little actually happens that the audience spends its time wondering whether what they are seeing or have seen actually took place at all either on screen or off.” by Geoff Gardner
