Lautrec / TooLoose
June 4th, 2007 by rui
Bringing together elements of Lautrec tracks, chop-ups from an extensive record collection spanning classical, hip-hop, alt.folk and electronica and a passion for film and the moving image, the TooLoose CineSoundSystem presents the 1991 classic from the director of IN THE MOOD FOR LOVE, 2046 and the forthcoming MY BLUEBERRY NIGHTS.
Sensualy translated to the silver-screen by cinematographer Christopher Doyle, ‘Days of Being Wild’ is a haunting and beautiful film that uses the storytelling dexterity that is common in many of Wong Kar-Wai’s later films and is one piece of cinema that you’ll not want to miss.
"A rapturous film about cool men, hot women and the thousand and one nights and cigarettes they share"
New York Times
"There are images in Days that can make your heart stop for no other reason than that they’re perfect."
Boston Times
"Wong Kar-Wai’s second feature is a brilliant dream of Hong Kong life in 1960. A young man of Shanghainese descent drifts through a series of casual friendships and uncommitted affairs. The terrific, all-star cast enacts a series of emotionally unresolved encounters; the swooningly beautiful camera and design work takes its hallucinatory tone from the protagonist’s own uncertainties. The mysterious appearance of Tony Leung only in the closing scene heralds a sequel that will sadly never be made. But this is already some kind of masterpiece."
