Sam WatermeierGUEST
Yeah, I think it's just an amazing movie.
Sam WatermeierGUEST
Um, and, uh, Fallen Angels is a Wong Kar-wai, uh, classic, uh, from 1995, and that was my first time seeing that.
Matt HurtHOST
Mm.
Frank DjengGUEST

Eric WilliamsHOST
Wong Kar-wai is like, I can just be a weirdo.
Eric WilliamsHOST
And that was because, specifically because of Chungking Express and Fallen Angels in the character of Takeshi Kaneshiro, who, again, forever crush, other than, I mean, the gorgeous Tony Leung.
Eric WilliamsHOST
But you remember he was the cop and the younger of
LucasHOST
the two.
speaker_1HOST
That 1995 moment is a critical pivot.
speaker_1HOST
Wong Kar-wai's next film, Fallen Angels, marked a shift toward visualizing psychological distance through a very specific kind of sound.

Michael A. CohenHOST
Um, but I think it's a great film.
Michael A. CohenHOST
Um, but I watched, uh, Fallen Angels.

Um, it's very '90s too, but there's some of the shots in that film, some of the things he does, some of the choices he makes, the way he brings this, the camera really close up to his actors, the way he sort of go, uses the handheld, which, which in the '90s a lot of directors really went nuts in a bad way with the handheld camera.
Blood LotusGUEST
Yi Yi is one of my favorite films ever.
Blood LotusGUEST
And then, you know, like Fallen Angels, Millennium Mambo, all these like really like central touchstones of like Asian New Wave.
Blood LotusGUEST
So I approached him about how like I was like, oh, I love these ideas.
Blood LotusGUEST
And, you know, like I'd love to do something together.
