The past decade has been a nightmare for this blue marble we call Earth: the rise of fascism, backsliding democracies, a climate crisis, and, worst of all, no new Wong Kar-Wai projects. 2013’s The Grandmaster was nine years ago, and that Criterion box set released last year re-colored all his work Matrix green.
Thankfully, the dark ages are ending, and Wong is making his long-awaited return to, um, television. Blossoms Shanghai, Wong’s first television project, will air in China next year and be available to American audiences on the WeTV and Tencent Video app. Award-winning Shanghainese screenwriter Qin Wen wrote the series, with Academy Award-winning cinematographer Peter Pau creating the sumptuous visuals for us to enjoy.
