Love & Neon: The Cinema of Wong Kar Wai 16 Jan - 18 Feb

“With the big screen at home, [people] feel like, ‘I’ve seen the movie’, but that’s not the case. When you look at it in that format, it’s something else. The best way is to go to the cinema to watch it. It’s what it’s supposed to be.” – Wong Kar Wai

Journey through 11 feature films from Wong Kar Wai’s genre-hopping filmography with Love & Neon: The Cinema of Wong Kar Wai. Featuring stunning imagery and haunting performances, this retrospective showcases the full scope of Wong’s talent and 30-plus-year career.

Love & Neon: The Cinema of Wong Kar Wai is presented by Sydney Film Festival and ACMI, in association with the National Film & Sound Archive, QAGOMA and Mercury Cinema.
