This week we conclude our Wong Kar-Wai festival with his Kung Fu masterpiece from 2013, The Grandmaster. His execution of the origin story of the famous Ip Man is made the only the way Kar-Wai can make it, absolutely wonderful! Enjoy the conversation!

We at MG love pop film - Avatar: The Way of Water and Top Gun: Maverick are popcorn masterpieces. But these have been the rare exception to the wave of mindless, bland franchise pictures that have dominated film culture for more than a decade, and it's hard to believe there was a time - not too long ago - when a gorgeously crafted adult drama could hold its own at the box office. So please join us as we refresh our belief in film as art, and take a loving look back on Wong Kar-wai's achingly beautiful In the Mood for Love!

Soms zie je het allemaal wel, maar voel je het niet. Host Ruud had dat met In the Mood for Love (2000) van Chinese mooifilmer Wong Kar-Wai. Een meesterwerk voor andere mensen, noemt hij het. In de film zien we hoe meneer Chow en mevrouw Chan erachter komen dat hun wederhelften met elkaar vreemdgaan. Ze groeien nar elkaar toe, verlangen steeds dieper naar elkaar. Maar doen er niets aan.

Bij jonge filmmaker Jetske Lieber kwam de film wel helemaal binnen. Ze keek 'm dit jaar voor de Filmacademie, en daarna nog twee keer op groot scherm toen EYE meerdere restauraties van Wong Kar-Wai uitbracht. En vooral dat melancholische, nostalgische toontje pakte haar helemaal in. Lieber laat haar regietalent onder andere zien in de short De Krantenman en speelt zelf een hoofdrol in festivalhit Marlon Brando van Vincent Tilanus. 

In de pod hebben we het ook nog over de andere films van Wong-Kar wai die we in het retrospectief zagen, een documentaire die Jetske voor de Filmacademie moest maken op een moeilijk moment, en hoe het is om tijdens het filmen op zoek te mogen en kunnen gaan naar de film.

Damon Houx of ScreenCrush.com joins us to talk about the influential and original Hong Kong filmmaker Wong Kar-wai. We briefly touch upon on his breakout film CHUNGKING EXPRESS (most of that discussion was lost due to technical difficulties) but the main film we focus on is the very beloved IN THE MOOD OF LOVE.  We definitely expand upon some more of his lesser known work as well.  In addition, Jim lept into Rian Johnson’s extremely entertaining LOOPER, Damon reviews the new sci-fi opus from Tom Tykwer and The Wachowski’s CLOUD ATLAS, and Patrick recently had a chance to see GOLD DIGGERS OF 1933 on the big screen.

In a couple weeks we will be talking with our friend & guest columnist Gabe Powers about the prolific genre-hopping director Mario Bava!  Please be sure to leave us a voicemail to play on the show as well at 224-366-9528. If you’re a movie blogger/podcaster and would like a guest spot on the show to talk about a filmmaker whose work you admire. Thanks again for listening and be sure to check out our updated upcoming schedule in the sidebar to see which directors we’ll be talking about soon! Questions are always welcome via email: directorsclubpodcast@gmail.com
