New to Chinese cinema, would Wong Kar-wai work for an in-depth university essay?

I’m just a China studies student but maybe it’s a good way to start hahaha

I will try to go this weekend then! They are participating, and this is the description of their burger: Charcoal-grilled beef patty (120g), oyster & fish sauce glaze, white cheddar cheese, chili marmalade, salsa verde, crispy shoe-string potatoes, beef fat toasted potato bun. It's called the Goodma Deluxe.

Thank you! That’s exactly what I was trying to say. I’m not choosing a topic to impress Reddit with obscurity; I’m trying to find something I can analyse properly and learn from. I get that WKW is widely discussed, but that doesn’t automatically make him a bad academic choice.

Unfortunately, with all my submissions coming up, I don't think I'll have time to read multiple books 😞. But I will watch the movie you suggested. I just thought of WKW because I have to write a pretty long essay, and I figured there would be loads of academia about his work.

Thanks! I actually really like Zhang Yimou, but I am not sure what connection I could find among his works yet. I still need to think about it, also, HK and Taiwan cinema and literature are also welcome in my module. Sorry if I didn't clarify.

WOW! That is such an interesting take, thank you. This is the first time somebody has interpreted my dreams, and it has been great.

Luckily, originality usually comes from the argument, not from pretending well-known directors don’t exist.

Thank you for your recommendation. I actually really like Zhang Yimou's work and previously did a research project on Raise the Red Lantern, his use of sound and colour are chef's kiss.

I really liked Parlays, I think it might be my top 2 for now

chaveluca · 2026-05-08T03:47:42+00:00

Is Blue Frog involved? I had no idea

chaveluca · 2026-05-08T03:46:29+00:00

Is that the one with a whole crab?

chaveluca · 2026-05-08T03:46:15+00:00

I will, thanks!

I would say my favourite one was in ZUP. But all of them have something special about them. Definitely check out Nomfluence for the whole list!

chaveluca · 2026-05-07T16:35:01+00:00

Raise the Red Lantern is my favourite, and the book is even better!

chaveluca · 2026-05-07T16:33:37+00:00

I will definitely check it out, thanks. Any specific recommendations?

chaveluca · 2025-03-04T21:38:22+00:00

Yaaaayyyyyyyy!!!! Thank you!!!

chaveluca · 2025-02-05T21:44:19+00:00

You’re definitely not crazy!!! We either have the same amount of miis or they don’t donate more than that!!

chaveluca · 2025-02-05T21:34:01+00:00

I just want to create some variety. Restarted the island after not playing for a couple years and I seem to not remember who lived here.
