In The Mood For Love as a NFT coming soon!

Blossoms Shangai

Trailer Out!

SYNOPSIS

Based on Jin Yucheng’s novel.

Tells the story of an enigmatic, self-made millionaire, Mr. Bao (Hu Ge), and his journey of reinvention from a young opportunist with a troubled past to the heights of the gilded city of Shanghai. Set against the backdrop of massive economic growth in 1990’s Shanghai, the series unveils the glamour that follows his dazzling wealth and his entanglement with four fabulous women that represent the pursuits of his life: adventure, honor, love and innocence.

FIRST LOOK

UPDATE:

“Blossoms Shanghai” offers an homage to the “In the Mood for Love” director’s birthplace at the most intriguing moments in its recent history. The pilot is also directed by Wong. This is Wong’s first time behind the camera since 2013’s “The Grandmaster.”

While a movie is still in the works, that project now lives as “Blossoms Shanghai,”

Inn hope he doesn’t take too long with this

Still confused on how this will fit into a trilogy considering Days of Being Wild is literally the first movie in a trilogy with the same films and uses same characters 🤔🤔🤔

New Wong Blu-ray boxset later this year as well apparently

NO WAY

so hypeee omg

already took 4 years writing the script

I thought that was already a trilogy together with Days of Being Wild. But in, hope this is a return to form

Damn so that Amazon series was cancelled apparently

?

he was set to create a series called "Tong Wars"

DAMN!

Also speaking of Days of Being Wild, I need subs for that so I can finally watch

there's plenty on opensubtitles fam lol! Great film, slept on compared to the other 90s classics

yea bet, I was just being lazy. I got the film like last month but only realized there were no subs on it last night

need to get back in the mood for movies

HUGE UPDATE:

This is now a TV show titled "Blossoms Shanghai"

indiewire.com/2020/08/blossoms-shanghai-wong-kar-wai-series-1234577569

I wonder if he'll go with Amazon still for this one

all that time spent just to probably direct one episode? Smh

@op you should just make this the WKW thread box set with 4k restorations dropping this month criterion.com/boxsets/4117-world-of-wong-kar-wai

looks so good

Anything new on this?

apparently Wong worked on these for 5 years but also tinkered with them quite a bit, which obviously far from everyone is happy about... like the guy who wrote this article with tbh some fairly good points
cinemaescapist.com/2021/01/fallen-angels-restoration-wong-kar-wai

But then there's some comparisons here where I actually think it looks kinda good?

the trailers are also actually the original trailers recut with the restored footage so you can compare those shots for yourself. Overall image quality is hugely improved without a doubt. Some very green-tinted stuff in the original looks more natural now, but in other shots there's a fairly strong green tint (In The Mood For Love will def be very controversial...).

Extremely hype to revisit Chungking, Fallen Angels and Happy Together through these though. Those films changed my whole perspective on cinema but because they were so impactful I only watched them once so far and now it's been a few years.

dude any updates?

cant wait to cop 4k box set
