1997: A Wong Kar-Wai Tribute (dir. Nick Dearman)

A short film shot in Hong Kong, November '07.

The whole point of this short film was to not really create something original, but to emphasise the style and layers Wong Kar-Wai and Chris Doyle bring to us. In that respect I took every film they collaborated in and did a homage myself. Wong Kar-Wai aficionado's should see numerous references to his past themes/style/storyline.

I hope I do the original filmmakers proud.

Ive seen a couple of shorts that were supposed to be in the Wong Kar-Wai style and this one captured that style the best so far. The only things that stood out as off is the music in the car and the upside down shots should have music and seemed like they wanted the slow frame rate effect. But anyway good job.

[nickyboy07]

For that i can explain.

Judging from your comment i take it you haven't seen Happy Together as the music used in that scene was the exact same. Wong Kar Wai is a Frank Zappa fan hence the reason using it in his film.

The scene is pretty much a carbon copy, and same goes with the upside down shots.

Brilliant mate, well constructed narrative and loads of subtle references to WKW's films!

My fav scene is the last, with Angus at the door, true Tony Leung style.

Keep it up.
