Abstract
While the concerns of Wong Kar Wai, Hong Kong’s eminent export filmmaker, have always centered around characters’ familial and interpersonal traumas, Wong’s recent work, such as Happy Together (Chun gwong cha sit, 1997), In the Mood for Love (Fa yeung nin wa , 2000), and 2046 (2004), triggers a new sophistication toward issues of traumatic experience.
