An Evening with Wong Kar-wai

Time to leave my apartment. I've been back in the states for over a month now and have done absolutely nothing, mostly because of the cold weather. Which is not much of an excuse, but after three months of summer weather in South America returning to the north was a bit of a shock, but for Wong Kar-wai I make an exception and venture into the city.

Wong Kar-wai the Hong Kong director known for stylized cosmopolitan romances including In the Mood for Love, 2046, and Chungking Express, will discuss his career in an evening of conversation and clips from many of his films. One of the most influential contemporary directors, Wong makes impressionistic, evocative movies that capture the fleeting nature of time and love. The evening will include scenes from Wong’s latest film, My Blueberry Nights, an English-language romance set in New York City, starring Norah Jones, Jude Law, and Natalie Portman. The program will be moderated by Chief Curator David Schwartz. At The Times Center, 242 West 41st Street, Manhattan. Thursday, April 3, 7:00 p.m.
