Remixing Wong Kar-wai : music, bricolage, and the aesthetics of oblivion

Biancorosso, Giorgio, 1968- author

2025

Overview

\"Remixing Wong Kar-wai explores the cross-media interactions of music and cinema in Hong Kong filmmaker Wong Kar-wai's oeuvre. Employing Levi-Strauss's \"bricolage\" as a guiding method, Giorgio Biancorosso shows how pre-existing materials such as cinematic imagery, music, and objects with strong associative meanings are re-mixed and reconfigured to create powerful new statements. Rather than emphasizing the role of director as the single author or creator of a film and all its elements, Biancorosso argues instead for an authorship that relinquishes responsibility and a film-viewing experience that relies on intertextual interpretation. Highlighting Wong's artistic choices and examining his application of pre-existing materials, especially music, Biancorosso demonstrates how Wong's creative vision resonates globally\"-- Provided by publisher.
