Underscore: Wong Kar-wai
04.05.26
Underscore is a monthly exploration of movie soundtracks guided by Mary. Each episode highlights music and sounds from specific films, genres, or the broader filmography of a director.
Just as underscoring in film enhances emotions and narratives, Underscore delves into the profound impact that music has on shaping us personally and on the emotional landscape of cinema.
This month’s episode features songs from the melancholy world of director Wong Kar-wai.
