Days of Being Wild
M+ Cinema presents 'Days of Being Wild', cinema legend Wong Kar Wai's breakthrough film.
Three decades ago, Days of Being Wild, the breakthrough film of cinema legend Wong Kar Wai, premiered. During that time, however, the film did not meet the expectations of critics and viewers accustomed to big-budget genre films. Now revered as a classic, the film’s cast includes a lineup of Hong Kong’s biggest stars in the prime of their youth and at the start of their illustrious careers: Leslie Cheung, Andy Lau, Maggie Cheung, Carina Lau, Jacky Cheung, and Tony Leung.
Following Wong’s debut As Tears Go By (1988), Days of Being Wild features the formal flourishes, poetic touches, and subtle cinematic moods that would become the filmmaker’s signature. Through tender portrayals of a group of wayward friends and lovers, Days of Being Wild meditates on themes of romance, fate, memory, and time set against a nostalgic urban landscape.
M+ Cinema will present the latest 4K restoration of the film completed in 2020.
