Turan & Michael Clark
In anticipation of the coming releases of two new films, 2046
and THE HAND (a segment of EROS, a trilogy with Michelangelo
Antonioni and Steven Soderbergh), audiences have discovered in
Wong Kar-Wai a cinematic genius whose talents and subtlety seem
to deepen exponentially with each film.

epic scale.” Passionate, political and intoxicatingly beautiful,
BURN! Has been restored to its complete, unseen Italian-language version.
“One of Brando’s subtlest and most unnerving performances.”—A.O.
