Hua Yang De Nian Hua

Hua Yang De Nian Hua was made by Wong Kar-Wai in 2000. It is a 3 minutes collage of scenes from very old Chinese movies, considered long lost, till a few nitrate prints were discovered in a Californian warehouse, some time in the nineties.

Wong Kar-Wai put them together and gave us this jewel. For him it was the inspiration to start the work for In the Mood for Love.

The score (that would be used also in In the Mood for Love) is a golden oldie, a gramophone record of Zhou Xuan, a famous film actress from the forties, nicknamed Golden Voice.




(Wong Kar-Way & Chris Doyle)
