Program Note
From the very beginning, the documentary takes an entirely unexpected direction. At first, Angie Chen seems to depict Wong Yan-kwai’s artistic aspects as diligently as possible. When Chen meets Wong, she asks questions about his artistic viewpoints, tries to highlight the qualities of his works, and explores the artist’s relationship with his family and his choice to live in poverty. Wong, however, refuses to give an answer. Instead, he asks Chen why it is important for her to get the answers and what is the direction of the film. Wong, who never worked for money, seems to represent “artistic romanticism and wackiness.” Wong, who refuses to be the subject of interpretation, and Chen, who tries to understand Wong’s artistic world, conflict with each other on everything while the documentary progresses. It reveals the interactions and conflicts between the two artists with very different personalities and perspectives. The real fun of the film is the distance and tension between the two stubborn, middle-aged artists who fail to persuade each other. (CHO Hyeyoung)
