En busca del tiempo perdido: la bipolaridad narrativa de Wong Kar-wai en "2046"

Abstract

The intention of this text entails the need to immerse oneself within the interior of the cinematographic proposal directed by the film-maker Wong Kar-wai –we are referring to the film that came out in 2004 with the title: 2046– with the aim of discovering the hidden meanings of this film. To this end we will approach the film text from a narratological point of view, centring principally on the formal aspects that this Asian film-maker deploys, as proof of his own particular style when telling stories through cinematographic language. Thus, essentially we will be exploring the analysis of the narrative mode, voice and time; defending the hypothesis of the dichotomous handling of these elements on the part of Wong Kar-wai, as the mark of a very personal style reached after a process of maturity which embraces almost twenty-odd years of film-making.
