Wong Kar-wai and Norah Jones on "My Blueberry Nights"

Hong Kong director Wong Kar-wai has made his first-ever English-language film, "My Blueberry Nights"; musician Norah Jones has tried her hand at acting as co-star in the film. Wong describes "My Blueberry Nights" as "a story of a woman who takes the long route instead of the short one to meet up with the man she loves."

If there is a Q&A session, for the discussion with WKW. I wanted to know what the signficance was for Mr. Wong Kar Wai regarding why he was filming this particular film in the America? Why now? Why not 10 years ago, or 5 years from now? What is the signficance of making an English language film now? And a follow up - why cast Hollywood stars? Thanks. -Liane
I was delighted that the film was shot at the lovely Palachinka Cafe in Soho - my favorite spot in the city where I met my boyfriend - an authentic, old fashioned creperie that was barely keeping itself alive. Six months after filming, the cafe has closed down due to rising rent. Another example of how the city's jewels are biting the dust. Can they comment?
leonard, really? i mean, what does a film directed by a chinese man -feel- like? what does it mean when it 'doesn't' feel that way? you think chinese directors are so different than americans? why didn't you just say "it felt almost like there was a white american director!"
shame.
