“With the consummate skill of a discerning expert listener, Giorgio Biancorosso unpacks Wong Kar-wai’s mercurial feats of borrowing from an extensive sonic archive East and West, feats that enable startlingly fresh fictional worlds to emerge in his films. This admirably fine-grained book brings to the study of world cinema and Hong Kong culture a whole new threshold of aesthetic finesse and conceptual sophistication. A game-changing achievement.”
