From Hong Kong, Wong Ping is an animator who explores desire, shame and morality in his surreal films that are at once naive and knowingly shocking. I discovered him first on NOWNESS through his short, ‘Doggy Love’, and was immediately entranced by the lo-fi, psychedelic pop animation and narration of a NSFW valentines love story.

I don't think I can put into words how much I enjoy Wong Kar Wai’s filmography. Thanks god I live in a time where I can watch it for free.
My favorite is "In the Mood for Love." I've never seen such intimacy without any physical interactions. By physical interactions, I mean kissing or anything more. The main characters' relationship is pure affection. From the moment they meet, there's a spark between them.
for example, it seems to me that it is no coincidence that they move into the same apartment on the same day. their rooms are next to each other. their belongings are moved at the same time, and they even get mixed up with each other. for example, one of them ends up with the new neighbor's records. they are going through similar difficulties in their relationships with their partners.
at the same time, they are not shy about expressing their feelings while being married. it is not often that you can see such a thing. it is a very beautiful movie and an impeccable love story. The characters are insanely beautiful, the sets are stunning, and I'm not even mentioning the main character's dresses.

Wong Kar-wai is a Hong Kong filmmaker and most of his movies are beautiful romances. He makes movies about flashing city lights and Cantonese people smoking cigarettes and somehow makes you feel like romance is the only thing in the whole world. My favorite of his is Chungking Express (1994) about two policemen in Hong Kong with parallel romances: one with a mysterious criminal, the other with a mysterious waitress.
Another great one, and his most widely acclaimed film, is In The Mood For Love (2000) about two neighbors in 1960s Hong Kong who suspect that their spouses are cheating on them with each other’s spouse, so they set out to explore how this romance could’ve began, and come to fall in love themselves.
Another one that is more dark and seedy is Fallen Angels (1995) where a hitman tries to escape his career and navigate his relationship with his underworld employer who is secretly in love with him.

🕰Set in a hypothetical future where humans are immortal, Jared Leto plays the last living mortal at 118 years old who on his deathbed, and with a fading memory, tells a journalist his life story which starts to fragment and explore the paths his life could have taken based on decisions he could have made. It explores the multiverse hypothesis and I was always struck by the concept, and the line ‘until you make a choice, everything is possible’.

💿Ulver originated as a black metal band in 1993 but defied the traditions of the scene by experimenting with genres and soundscapes to build a career which has taken them to the worlds of pop, ambient and jazz. Perdition City marked their exploration into ambient music, written as the soundtrack to an imaginary film. It's moody, introverted and atmospheric, and is the album that I reference the most. An underappreciated piece of art which I would love everyone to explore.

🚤I went through life never having a hobby but I found one last year, and it’s going on Speedboats. They are fun, fast and ridiculous.
