B&B Presents: Wong Kar Wai: Hong Kong present, past and future.

Yet another week of BJ MIA (actually he?s just at a family get together), and another week of hopefully not too little / hopefully not too late programming by Brendan. This week, we continue a journey into the deft and artful works of director Wong Kar Wai that some of us left off at C-Bean?s a few weeks back.

SUNDAY AUG. 13th


7pm Fallen Angels / Duo Luo Tian Shi (1995):
In a multilayered and surreal Hong Kong nightscape a disillusioned hit man on his ?last? kill deals with his feelings for his partner, a drifter searches for her ex-boyfriend, and a mute breaks into stalls in the Kowloon Night Market.

9pm 2046 (2004):
The fantasy future world of his writing allows a sci-fi author to connect with the love that fate would not allow him in the 1960s past. The much acclaimed continuation / fan service of the much more acclaimed In The Mood For Love likely does not need you to have seen the first. It is to be a visually exquisite meditation on romance, remembrance, and regret.
