Days Of Being Wild (1991) (Blu-ray) (Hong Kong Version)

Product Description

Released to great acclaim in 1990, Days of Being Wild is where Wong Kar Wai begins. The Hong Kong auteurs second film after the more conventionally narrated As Tears Go By, Days of Being Wild gave world cinema its first glimpse of what would become Wong Kar Wais signature: elliptical storytelling, existential brooding, breathtaking cinematography & art direction, haunting score, all-star cast, & that heartbreaking air of lingering & longing. Set in 1960s Hong Kong, the film stars Wongs two muses, Maggie Cheung & the late Leslie Cheung, in the career-defining role of the dashingly charismatic self-destructive playboy York for which he won Best Male Actor at the Hong Kong Film Awards. Days of Being Wild also co-stars Carina Lau, Jacky Cheung, Andy Lau, Rebecca Pan, & Tony Leung Chiu Wai.

Raised by a foster mother who used to make her living as a courtesan, York (Leslie Cheung) has only one wish: to find out who his real mother is. Stubborn & careless, York gets acquainted with a lonely submissive bar girl (Maggie Cheung) & a beautiful club hostess/dancer (Carina Lau) before leaving his whole life behind in search of the truth which may ultimately destroy him.
