saturated

I take pleasure in having no formal training in cinematography. I can make an aesthetic judgment of a film without getting caught up in the minutiae or the process, but rather sit back and allow the film to transport me.

The best films bring me to an entirely different world and leave me dreamy and disoriented when I leave the theater. I often won't even be able to recall the plot, but the visual impact will haunt me forever. There are a handful of directors that do this to me with everything they produce, and Wong Kar Wai is certainly near the top of that list.
