Wong Kar Wai Theres Only One Sun

[cheadessolupa]

For anyone wondering what the song is, it's called Siboney (by Connie Francis).

[MyName42]

This short can take a few viewings before it makes sense to you. Every time I watch it, it's like bathing in a tub of beautiful color and euphonious sound. The philosophical musings are not that profound, but they don't really need to be. The mood is all that matters.

[BandanaDan]

I do find it hilarious that everyone is talking about Christopher Doyle and WKW's lighting etc - when really the main look is in the production design, costumes, and editing and special effects by William Chang.

[msa1985]

@BandanaDan Yeah I just looked him up and saw that he was involved with just about every WKW movie

[MaghoxFr]

@BandanaDan under the direction of WKW

[BandanaDan]

@MaghoxFr

Of course.

[Cosiism]

Too slick for my liking: it's like a perfume-ad. But with a rather pretentious philosofical dialogue. In this case an unfortunate combination.

The woman might be pleasing to the eye but she's not interesting: rather bland.

Wouldn't have thought this was a Wong Kar Wai film...

[jumponthebandwagon]

@Cosiism

Anyone who

[justbeyourself2]

@Cosiism she is pretty but yeah agree she's boring.

[jimsottile]

There should be more chin-strap ski caps in the world.

[allthingsmustpass]

wow!!!

[ant1ph0n]

i'd bang that blind chick any day

[4m0res]

someone knows the name of the last song??? o.o

[giseIle]

The wardrobe, hair, and makeup remind me so much of Lanvin.

[kakun23]

me fascina la atmosfera retro futurista combinada con una mirada subjetiva... hermosisismo corto

[kakun23]

me fascinan las atmosferas de Wong Kar wai, esa combinacion de futurismo retro y esteliciacion, ademas de ese lado subjetivo... precioso

Siento no poder ayudarte. Hay que leerla en ruso, para empezar. Y luego, no busco nada luminoso en su palabra. Simplemente, la siento. A Marina hay que respirarla sin más. Como a WKW.

[juancsuarez]

Any chance for an HD reupload now that youtube offers this possibility? This beautiful piece deserves a better quality. Thanks in advanced!

[toddterry]

Wong Kar Way, Maestros como este nos recuerdan que el verdadero cine aun vive.

[MrCarlospina]

Sencillamente hermoso.

[malayneum]

what movie is this?

[kakun23]

@malayneum is a short film

[NYCinema]

so beautiful it hurts!

[violettabrazh]

¡Dios mío! Es perfecto...hasta conoce a Tsvetaeva...Jamás hubiera imaginado a WKW trabajando sobre autores tan poco conocidos fuera de Rusia. ¡Olé,Wong Kar Wai! Me siento orgullosa por mi nación de donde han surgido los poetas como Marina...

[13FuckedMonkey12]

@violettabrazh Uf, Tsvetaeva......... sus poesías son horribles D: un poco enfermizas, causan angustia.

podrías citarme alguna más luminosa y agradable para recobrar mi gusto por ella?

[Rebelliousbynature]

DELICIOSO!!!

[azuleblu]

Deslumbrante!

[MyName42]

Gorgeous, odd, and intriguing. I love WKW.

But at the same time, I don't think this has the mood and emotion of his best work.

[cubanewyork]

Wong Kar Wai is an amazing artist! Only him can make something so beautiful from such a vulgar and commercial idea...

[MegaRosy96]

I Have To Say This Woman Is Simply Beautiful.

[chadthediary]

This is so beautiful...

[Laurence418]

There only one Wong Kar Wai

[asia911]

Shit! WKW is a master with lighting, color and great choice in music. His films are a piece of art.

[lagook]

@asia911 thats cuz he uses chris doyle :D

[gelo33]

@lagook he didn't use chris doyle in this

[lagook]

@gelo33 really? i thourght it was on doyles filmography?

[gelo33]

@lagook yeah, i assumed it was doyle too, until i paid attention to the credits. DOP is philippe le sourd who did seven pounds and that...i don't think doyle's done any work with wkw since 2004 (eros + 2046)....

[msa1985]

@asia911 Don't confuse Wong kar Wai with Christopher Doyle -- regarding the color and lighting, that is.

[JohnWoo]

@msa1985 He still has to give him the idea, and once Doyle came up with something, he still has to give the go ahead.

I'd know, because I'm John Woo.

[BandanaDan]

@msa1985

Also worth mentioning, Christopher Doyle didn't DoP this one but Philippe Le Sourd.

[Se2b11]

cool

[SfumatodaVinciano]

Bravazo... como siempre.

[james12harvey]

not the best ive seen but still good

[Jslk]

holy shi% this was awesome

[Tengis]

Amazingness. However, I don't like the use of the music on this one, maybe something a little bit futurustic would've been better. But I know WKW likes to use Latin American music, kudos to WKW.

[ScottFogel1979]

amazing
