“The mainstream audience in Hong Kong don’t understand the deeper meaning of his movies. Some of them would even find it boring,” he said.
Born in Shanghai, Wong moved to Hong Kong when he was 5. Despite not having formal training, he enrolled in a television drama training program after graduating from a local college in graphic design in 1980.
He later worked as a production assistant before becoming a TV scriptwriter.
Wong made his directorial debut in 1988 with “As Tears Go By” which was shown in 1989 in Cannes. His 1990 follow-up “Days of Being Wild” regularly tops local critics’ polls of the best films ever made despite being a financial failure.
