Well, here’s where it all actually started. Long before I decided to make a website, I started on these reviews/analyses. It was never a systematic task of mine: I’m not a film scholar and so I was only writing what I thought and felt. My opinions are entirely subjective, and I wouldn’t like to claim that I have a better understanding of WKW’s films than anybody else - I just felt moved enough to want to write something down before (an almost topical consideration) the day when I might forget my feelings about just how wonderful these films are.

The first review was Chungking Express, and things then grew organically (at the time of writing some of the reviews, I hadn’t seen some of the other WKW films, and so things may seem a little haphazard). Essentially, although I’m not a big fan of high-brow (over-)analysis, I do see WKW’s films as having a content which is worthy of comment. There is nothing wrong with an entirely aesthetic appreciation of WKW’s films, but I was simply writing what I thought in response to what I felt and saw. I just want to re-iterate that I did not write these reviews to prove any points: I originally started writing them only for myself (which explains why they are a bit lengthy for reviews). Anyway, just have a look and see if they add anything to your appreciation of WKW’s films.
