Hi!
One of my favorite filmmaker is Wong Kar Wai. He is a Chinese film director, born in Shanghai in 1958. He never studied cinema, so all that he knows about how to make films is for the influence of his mother, which loved the seventh art and took him to watch a lot of movies. He is mostly recognized for his films; Chungking Express (1994), Happy Together (1997), In the Mood for Love (2000) and 2046 (2004).
In his films, he use the time as narrative element, either with slow motion and jump cuts. Frames with saturated colors and elements. I admire his capacity to tell this wonderful stories, trought this exploration of the cinema resources. Sometimes it seems that is confuse to understand, cause the way he structure the story it is. For me this is great to involve the viewer making pay attention to the details and in the absence of dialogue, understand what the images express. And one last thing about the dialogue, is that he use it just when it's necessary to establish closeness between characters.

I think his filmography is like a portrait of human in modernity, the loneliness surround. Every time that I watch some of his movies, the pictures stay fixed in my memorie, the warm colours, the music and the melancholy characters.
Thanks for reading!
I will definitely watch one of his movies, he sounds like a interesting direcor
