Wong Kar‐wai: The Optics of the Virtual

Abstract

This essay proposes that we look at Wong Kar-wai's style outside the parameters of narrative or representation and instead through the optics of intensities, thresholds, and transfers of energy. Such a procedure allows us to understand the ways in which Wong's distinctive cinematic style opens on to new ways of understanding the geopolitical dimensions of his work, linked to emerging global flows of information and images.
