Ithaca Premiere>2004 > Hong Kong > Directed by Wong Kar Wai
With Chang Chen, Gong Li
Originally conceived for the omnibus film Eros, this film - presented in this retrospective for the first time in its extended cut - tells the tale of Zhang, a shy tailor's assistant enraptured by a mysterious client, Miss Hua. A hypnotic tale of obsession, repression, and class divisions, The Hand finds Wong Kar Wai continuing to transition from the frenetic, energized style of his earlier films into a register that is lush with romantic grandeur. In Mandarin. Subtitled. Cosponsored with the East Asia Program.
