If the original soundtracks ofĀ Wong Kar-Wai’s movies have to be released on cassette format, which one should we choose?

It is indeed a bit difficult to choose…

Analog Dept.Ā isĀ proud to release the Wong Kar-Wai movie soundtrack series in cassette tape format for the first time. BesidesĀ Chungking Express, Happy Together, Ashes of Time, In the Mood for Love, and also 2046, The Grandmaster… 12 films directed or produced by Wong Kar-Wai, all fromĀ Jet Tone Production.

About Wong Kar-Wai:

Wong Kar-WaiĀ is a Hong Kong film director, screenwriter, and producer. His films are characterized by nonlinear narratives, atmospheric music, and vivid cinematography involving bold, saturated colors. A pivotal figure of Hong Kong cinema, Wong is considered a contemporary auteur and ranks third onĀ Sight & Sound’s 2002 pollĀ of the greatest filmmakers of the previous 25 years. His films frequently appear on best-of lists domestically and internationally.

Exhausted by the time-consuming filming and post-production ofĀ Ashes of Time, Wong directedĀ Chungking Express (1994), a smaller film that he hoped would rekindle his love of cinema. The film, expressing a more lighthearted atmosphere, catapulted Wong to international prominence, and won Best Film andĀ Best Director at the 1995 Hong Kong Film Awards.

Wong followed up with the crime thrillerĀ Fallen AngelsĀ in 1995. Although it was initially tepidly received by critics, Fallen Angels has since come to be considered a cult classic of theĀ Golden Age of Hong Kong cinema, being especially representative of Wong’s style. Wong would go on to consolidate his worldwide reputation with the 1997 dramaĀ Happy Together, for which he wonĀ Best Director at the Cannes Film Festival.

The 2000 dramaĀ In the Mood for Love, revered for its lush visuals and subtle storytelling, concretely established Wong’s trademark filmmaking styles. Among his other work areĀ 2046Ā (2004) andĀ The GrandmasterĀ (2013), both of which received awards and nominations worldwide.
