The Wong Kar-Wai Calendar Project
by Molly McCall
Sat, January 27, 2007, 3:00 am PST

Hong Kong director Wong Kar-Wai creates lush, lingering films that play obsessively with time: time lost, time regained, and—for those unseduced by the filmmaker's distinctive style—time that moves very, very slowly. So it's either perfect or ironic that a group of graphically oriented fans has paid homage to his work by creating a monthly calendar. In a wrinkle that the director himself would love, they've added a new constraint for each year the project has continued. In 2005, the monthly pages were inspired by each of Wong's movies. In 2006, the designs combined two different films. This year, the day-counting cinephiles added another director's images to the mix. Regardless of whether or not you watch Wong's stuff, you can still revel in these stylized, smudgy images and perhaps print one for a month's run.
