Cinematic Threads
The way I feel about Wong Kar-wai and Chungking Express, is I’m always surprised by the things people say influenced Moonlight because I never thought of them. But I do think Chungking Express and Happy Together are two of the films I constantly rewatch and they just permeate my being, so it’s impossible for them not to show up in the work.
