bennet_7Some exciting news. Wong Kar-wai's latest film, his first ENGLISH language film My Blueberry Nights opened at Cannes this year.
Some clips here.
Two reviewers who 'get' Wong Kar-wai (because he really isn't for everyone) are here and here.
Gah! I so want to see this but it is nowhere on the internets. Sadly, Wong Kar-Wai isn't working with Christopher Doyle anymore (how much do I love Christopher Doyle? So much). Instead his cinematographer is Darius Khondji, whose work I really loved in Se7en so that helps.
The poster lies. Ed Harris isn't in it as far as I can tell.
These photos are so obviously from Wong Kar-wai.
See?
See?
I was flashing back to In the Mood for Love with this one.
Wong Kar-Wai's next film will be The Lady from Shanghai which I'm guessing will also be in English because of the cast (Nicole Kidman, Hugh Jackman, Rachel Weisz). Still, I live in hope that Tony Leung, Faye Wong, Takeshi Kaneshiro and Maggie Cheung will show up too.
(Though Maggie Cheung has pretty much retired from acting now. Apparently, she wants to focus on her painting and composing music. Good for her, tragic for us.)
My Blueberry Nights" is a romantic road film, with a young woman making a soul-searching trip across America and encountering a series of charming and bizarre characters. Norah Jones stars in her first motion picture, which is chock-full of today's A-list of good-looking actors and actresses, including Jude Law, Rachel Weisz, Natalie Portman, David Strathairn, and Tim Roth.
