Days of Being Wild (1990)

Days of Being Wild: Directed by Kar-Wai Wong. With Leslie Cheung, Maggie Cheung, Andy Lau, Carina Lau. A man tries to find out who his real mother is after the woman who raised him tells him the truth.

“I guess the main reason that this is my favorite WKW movie is that itu0026#39;s one of the least abstract of his movies and I feel like the viewer becomes more emotionally involved with the characters because of that. The music, as always with WKW, is wonderful and the cinematography is fine, I especially like all the shots of the lush tropical forests. It isnu0026#39;t as beautifully photographed as many of his later films like chungking express and in the mood for love. And it doesnu0026#39;t feature much of the fancy techniques that WKW likes to employ in movies like fallen angels or happy together. Still I think this is my favorite of Wong Kar Waiu0026#39;s movies, not necessarily the best, but the one I enjoy the most. Highly Recommended.”
