Wong Kar-Wai must be a very sad and lonely guy. He seems nice and affable in interviews. Yet nearly every film he has made is a story about beautiful, passionate and often unfulfilled longing. He instinctively knows exactly which moments to freeze or slow down. "Real" time is not enough for these moments. These moments are to be drawn out to their heartbreaking zenith. Viewed through Wong's lens, the smallest and most intimate story becomes an emotional epic. There's a reason this film won best director at Cannes that year.
