About this product
Product Information
DAYS OF BEING WILD is the film that started it all for auteur art film director Wong Kar Wai, exhibiting many of the preoccupations and devices that would characterize his work throughout his career until the present time. The precise, almost melodic slowness of the pacing is reflective of the existential conundrum in which the characters are mired, offsetting the random, fleeting nature of the glimpses of love they are afforded. The first film in Wong's oeuvre that is a product of his happy alliance with cinematographer Christopher Doyle, it is a film of chance, the persistence and terrifying weight of time and memory, and the fortuitous accident that passes for love.Leslie Cheung stars as Yuddy, a vain, sexually predatory orphan whose mother abandoned him with her prostitute sister when he was very young; today, he lackadaisically searches for his birth mother while living his layabout lifestyle funded by his put-upon aunt. He approaches Lai (Maggie Cheung), a snack bar clerk, who rejects him but is haunted by Yuddy's classic line that they were friends for exactly one minute on that exact date; although realizing that he will never care for her she continues to pine for him, turning for solace to a cop (Andy Lau) who duly falls in love with her. Yuddy moves on to Mimi (Carina Lau), a beautiful cabaret dancer who is ultimately unable to maintain her tough facade when she falls for Yuddy; her vulnerability draws in Yuddy's best friend (Jackie Cheung), who idolizes him and is rejected by Mimi. The soap-opera quality of this web of love serves to illustrate the uncontrollable nature of emotions and the fact that they are governed by coincidence, underscoring the rather bleak existentialism of the film. However, the humanity depicted in the actors' stunning performances, and the dreamlike nature of the sequences that effect the impression of memory, redeem the seemingly unredeemable characters.

This was an awesome experience! Seller was kind enough to accept my lower offer for the book, shipped it to me VERY quickly, packaged VERY well. It's a great reading copy. Seller even included a nice handwritten thank you note and a coupon for a discounted next purchase. A very nice personal touch. Communication was great. I would definitely recommend this seller and buy from them again! Absolute credit to eBay! A+++++

Item arrived in great condition. Seller has excellent communication, and is very friendly. They informed me the on date of delivery without me even asking, packaged my item very well and neat, making it easy to open but still packed very safely, with care. They also left a nice little card with a friendly handwritten message, along with a discount on other items. Whether it’s for better marketing or they are just naturally friendly, it’s a pleasant surprise that seems very genuine. 5-star seller
