Despite what many people, and the digital edition of the new generation of consoles would want you to believe, it’s a great time to be a fan of physical media. Even more so than director’s cuts brought upon by relentless fan campaigns, 4K restorations are allowing filmmakers to tweak their films in more meaningful ways than adding CGI rocks in the foreground in the special edition of “Star Wars.” The latest filmmaker to take advantage of these restorations is Wong Kar-Wai.

To many, the works of Wong Kar-wai are some of the best the film medium has ever seen. For example, “In the Mood for Love” is often considered one of the best films of all-time, showing just how masterful Wong is at creating heart-wrenching drama and beautiful sensuality.

You know, it if it wasn’t for that stupid pandemic, 2020 could have been a banner year for legendary filmmaker Wong Kar-wai. Not only are some of his best features getting 4K restorations and limited theatrical release this year, but the filmmaker was also set to begin work on a TV series and film, both based on the story “Blossoms.” But with the pandemic hitting, things have been delayed and 2020 isn’t such a prolific year for Wong.
