When Wong Kar Wai makes a film, he really takes his time. Famously he doesn't use a script and develops the film day by day from a rough outline. And once shooting is complete, there is still the editing process. As difficult and wasteful as this process sounds, you cannot deny that it yields ASTOUNDING results:
It has been well over 5 years since Wong first announced that he was going to make a film about Yip Man. In the mean time actor Donnie Yen has starred in TWO films about the life of this martial arts master. Thought I may be biased, I have a feeling that The Grandmasters will be the film that goes down as the definitive biopic.
