A Fei zhengzhuan (Days of Being Wild), 1990, Wong Kar-wai

The Utopia of Film:

Chapter 74

Works by Hou Hsiao-hsien, Wong Kar-wai and Edward Yang*

 

Each Tuesday
 
The Utopia of Film is a series of chapters - a sequence of constellations and questions which change on a monthly basis. Each chapter contains several films. The selected works are capable of standing on their own with their individual qualities, but the totality of each chapter also provides a specific context. The Utopia of Film tells a history of films in their relation to each other and to society.
 
Reduced tickets (3,00 €) are available for students with a valid membership.
  
* The films made by Hou Hsiao-hsien, Wong Kar-wai and Edward Yang (A Brighter Summer Day) between 1989 and 1991 belong together: the mid-twentieth century seen through the rear view mirror of emphatic bio-historiography, presented by three masters of modern cinema – and of „the other Chinas” – at their creative peak. “How film writes history anew.” (Frida Grafe)
