House Samyan Bangkok is bringing back five iconic Wong Kar-wai films lensed by the acclaimed Christopher Doyle for a limited big-screen release.

Wong Kar-wai lovers and Bangkok cinephiles, rejoice! House Samyan is bringing five classic Wong Kar-wai movies lensed by Christopher Doyle back to the big screen, timing the retrospective with the release of Pen-ek Ratanaruang’s new film Krua Sao (Morte Cucina), which was also shot by the acclaimed cinematographer.

Doyle’s visual style has evolved, but he is forever tied to Wong’s signature mood: using low frame rates and duplicated frames to create that blurry look. The techniques act as shorthand for Wong’s world, where characters are suspended in their own heartbreak while the rest of Hong Kong rushes past.

Catch these classics on the following dates:

Happy Together (1997)

• Thursday 9 July, 7.40pm
• Wednesday 15 July, 7.25pm

2046 (2004)

• Friday 10 July, 8.35pm

In the Mood for Love (2000)

• Saturday 11 July, 5.10pm
• Tuesday 14 July, 7.25pm

Chungking Express (1994)

• Sunday 12 July, 6.40pm

Fallen Angels (1995)

• Monday 13 July, 7.25pm

Grab your tickets before the sessions fill up. Wong Kar-wai’s Bangkok following is incredibly loyal, always turning up to experience his films in a theatre no matter how many times they have seen them. Check the House Samyan website for the schedule and their Facebook for updates.
