Episode Synopsis
In celebration of the new 4K restoration box set, out today from the Criterion Collection, Dalton and Mike do a full-blown career retrospective on the Hong Kong director Wong Kar Wai. We talk about the man himself, his background growing up in Hong Kong, and the themes that pop up again and again in his films. (1:11) Then we go film by film and dig in to what stuck with us most about each. (44:54) Finally, we each rank these films top to bottom, as well as give our personal power rankings for the troupe of actors who make up the WKW experience. (1:47:33)
