The Hand (Extended Cut)
World of Wong Kar Wai
May 14 - June 3, 2021
The never-before-seen extended cut of Wong’s hypnotic tale of obsession and class divisions, which was originally produced for the omnibus film Eros.
Opens May 17! Tickets are now on sale.
Like In the Mood for Love, The Hand is set in the hazy Hong Kong of the 1960s, but its characters couldn’t be more different from the earlier film’s restrained, haunted lovers. Originally produced as part of the omnibus film Eros, The Hand—presented here in its extended cut for the first time—tells the tale of Zhang (Chang Chen), a shy tailor’s assistant enraptured by a mysterious client, Miss Hua (Gong Li). A hypnotic tale of obsession, repression, and class divisions, The Hand finds Wong continuing his transition from the frenetic, energized style of his earlier films into a register that is lush with emotional grandeur. A Janus Films release.
