	Wong Kar-wai : Days of Being Wild
		Days of Being Wild features a strikingly underpopulated Hong Kong, and these characters create a particular, small world, that is as cryptic as it is spellbinding.
		Wong's first collaboration with Christopher Doyle, Days of Being Wild -- the HK title for Nicholas Ray's Rebel Without a Cause -- is a consistently mesmerizing tale of men and women, memory, exile, chance, and time's uncooperative nature.
		Back in those days, the sun was brighter, the air fresher, with the sound from the wireless sets flowing down the streets, from a distance...it felt so good.

	[KFCC] Days of Being Wild Review
		Through that one film, she avoided "Happy Together", "Fallen Angels", "Chung-King Express", "In the Mood for Love", and "Days of Being Wild." Her complaint is all his films end up being too artsy.
		Most of all, she hates them because they are artsy for the sake of being artsy and none else.
		If she had seen "Days of Being Wild" then she would've tripped over the sofa and somehow fallen on her face.

	Days of Being Wild Essay
		As befits Wong’s near-total transcendence of genre in Days of Being Wild, the film’s plot is more intricate and emotionally nuanced than that of the earlier film, but its most salient feature is the constant, much-remarked theme of the implacable impossibility of love.
		Days nevertheless remains ultra-sensual, as when Wong is able to invoke decades of steamy-jungle films set in south Asia merely through the noisy blowing of a hyperactive fan.
		His way of being in the world is primarily that of a heartless seducer, but what motivates his most decisive actions is his desire to know his mother, and thus his origins.

	Days of Being Wild - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Days of Being Wild aka The True Story of Ah Fei (Traditional Chinese: 阿飛正傳; Simplified Chinese: 阿飞正传; pinyin: ā fēi zhèng zhuàn) is a 1991 Hong Kong movie by director Wong Kar-wai.
		This film was seen to be among the first of its genre popularised by Wong Kar-wai, it does not rely on a plot but more on the individual strengths of its many actors and actresses to narrate the story through their seemingly mundane day-to-day activities.
		Days of Being Wild broke away from the light fare that typified Hong Kong cinema at the time by introducing thematic ambiguity and an arthouse aesthetic.

	Days Of Being Wild Review
		In fact, that film, Days Of Being Wild, did fail spectacularly at the Hong Kong box office, confirming to many that the domestic audience’s tastes weren’t tickled by ‘art’ films.
		Days is a period drama, harking back to the start of the 1960’s, set in a Hong Kong very different to the one today.
		At its heart Days is the story of a youth, Yuddy (played by Leslie Cheung), an archetype of recklessness and restlessness whose life consists of starting and ending relationships, drifting aimlessly yet searching, impulsiveness and violence regularly featuring in his character.

	Days of Being Wild (1990)
		Days of Being Wild possesses all the trademarks of Hong Kong's celebrated auteur: heavy doses of post-modern reflection, characters mired in paralyzing existentialism, exquisite cinematography, exacting pacing, sultry atmosphere, and an entirely too obvious "art film" air.
		In Days of Being Wild, and indeed in every other Wong Kar-Wai film, the narrative is really the last thing on the director's mind.
		Days of Being Wild is a film that rewards only as much as the viewer is willing to put in.

	days of being wild - review at videovista
		Days Of Being Wild was the film that coupled writer-director Wong Kar-wai and cinematographer Christopher Doyle for the first time, a partnership that has since famously resulted in Chungking Express, Fallen Angels, Happy Together, In The Mood For Love, and 2046.
		Days Of Being Wild is a period film, a drama played out in the 1960s and the period detail production design and location wrangling is spot on.
		There are certainly reasons to watch Days Of Being Wild and you should rent it for them, but don't expect it not to be a painless experience in so rummaging.

	village voice > film > Days of Being Wild by J. Hoberman
		Days of Being Wild is the movie with which Wong Kar-wai became Wong Kar-wai—the most influential, passionate, and romantic of neo-new-wave directors.
		Revived (with vastly improved subtitles) some 14 years after it first stunned Hong Kong critics, Days of Being Wild is a sort of meta-reverie populated by a cast of beautiful young pop icons—Leslie Cheung, Maggie Cheung, Carina Lau, Andy Lau, and briefly, Tony Leung—acting like movie stars.
		Days is also Wong's first film to have been shot by Chris Doyle, and the voluptuous shadows, neon color schemes, and underwater atmosphere of Doyle's cinematography would define Wong's elusive Hong Kong forever after.

		Days of Being Wild, Wong Kar-Wai's 1991 film, followed his 1988 As Tears Go By and solidified his style.
		In short "Days of Being Wild" is, in the tradition of "Rebel without a Cause" an `ah fei' movie - a story of lost youth.
		Of course, there is more to "Days of being wild" than the tale of Yuddy and the two women that love him.

		The opening scenes of Wong Kar-Wai's 1991 "Days of Being Wild" feature the unnervingly handsome and conceited Yuddy, played by Leslie Cheung, as an insistent suitor to Su Lizhen, Maggie Cheung's apprehensive snack bar clerk.
		He gradually wears her down, warning that the moment she gives in — 3 p.m., June 16, 1960, to be exact — will forever be etched in their memories.
		"Days of Being Wild" marked the director's first collaboration with longtime cinematographer Christopher Doyle, whose shadowy lighting, contrasted with a brightly colored palette, have become the pair's signature.

		On the other hand, his second film I have seen, Days of Being Wild, kept me in tune from start to finish.
		Some shots are impressive just by being elaborate (like when we glide from the street up the stairs to a lunch-hall where Yuddy is at in the Philippines).
		Early on in the film, as in midway as well, some of the close-ups (like with two lovers in an intimate moment) are of the highest quality in artistry.

	Days of Being Wild
		Days of Being Wild unfolds like a dream with colour filters, unusual shadows, and the sights and sounds of Hong Kong's rainy nights and sweltering summers.
		Days of Being Wild may sound like a soap opera but the film reaches a much higher artistic level.
		A commercial failure but an artistic triumph, Days of Being Wild is a moody, atmospheric film that with its background of popular music, in this case 1950's rumbas and cha-cha's, forecasts the director's later In the Mood For Love.

	Meditations on Loss: A Framework for the Films of Wong Kar-wai by Anthony Leong
		Blinded by the haze of nostalgia and desperately attempting to hang on their halcyon days, they miss the opportunities of the present and are completely unaware of the incessant progression of time.
		In "Days of Being Wild", Su Lizhen became the blind mourner, spending most of her time in "Days of Being Wild" pining over her rejection by Yuddy (Leslie Cheung).
		He ends up being rejected by the jilted woman and learns to make decisions for himself in the process (visually conveyed by his blonde hairs disappearing), the first of which is to give Zhiming's former agent a ride home on his motorcycle.

		In fact, Days of Being Wild would probably be one of the most sparse films I have ever seen.
		Whether this was due to a low budget or a device manufactured by Wong himself, this forces the viewer to go that much deeper into the characters' lives, even though that might not be a place we might want to go.
		Days of Being Wild is a good movie, and one which I would recommend for a viewing, especially if you have liked some of Wong Kar-Wai's other films.

	Days of Being Wild by Cathy
		A film that could be the core of a psych class, "Days of Being Wild" examines the self-centered life of Yuddy a smooth-talking lothario who tosses out lovers with chilling coldness.
		The angst of sexual frustration permeates with a tempo that nearly paralyzes the film and perhaps that explains this 1991 film’s cool reception when first released.
		Seen within the framework of Wong Kar-Wai later films—"In the Mood for Love," "Chungking Express"- that expand on similar themes, "Days of Being Wild" is better appreciated as an intriguing appetizer in this filmmaker’s budding career.

	Days of Being Wild
		This is not just because some DAYS OF BEING WILD's dialogue -- that between Yuddy (the cha-cha-cha-ing Leslie Cheung steals the show!) and the older woman who could be said to be his foster mother (played by Rebecca Pan) -- segues into a language that I can't identify but know to be other than Cantonese.
		Released in the days when Hong Kongers eminently preferred domestic offerings to those from elsewhere in the world, it seems obvious now that the 1991 film described by Dannen as "an unconventional film for any movie market" would die at the local box office (See his "Hong Kong Babylon", 1997:50).
		On a personal note: I must confess that as much as I (think I can) theoretically appreciate what DAYS OF BEING WILD represents in terms of film and statement making, the reality for me is that the actual viewing of it does not make for too entertaining or engaging an experience.

	Days of Being Wild Movie Review - Days of Being Wild Movie Trailer - The Boston Globe
		''Days of Being Wild" feels like an earlier companion piece, with similar themes of throttled communication and love never arriving at the right time in the right place.
		There are images in ''Days" that can make your heart stop for no other reason than that they're perfect: a shot of Yuddy and So lying in a post-coital haze, a camera move up a long, deep blue staircase into a Philippine lunch-hall where violence will erupt.
		But the visuals wouldn't have the impact they do without the sense that they're glimpsed once and gone forever, and that their loss will haunt the characters for the rest of their lives.

	Hong Kong Digital #138: As Tears Go By / Days of Being Wild
		The director has stated that he regards MOOD as another chapter of DAYS and, in fact, Maggie Cheung's character in this later film, Su Li-zhen, shares the same name (Mega Star's subtitles for DAYS use the Cantonese equivalent, So Lai-chun) and could theoretically be that girl a few years later.
		AS TEARS GO BY and DAYS OF BEING WILD were the first HK movies to be issued on DVD in 16:9 by a local video label.
		From DAYS OF BEING WILD onwards, it becomes difficult to judge the accuracy of video transfers, as Wong and Doyle became less and less concerned with conventional imagery, introducing heavy grain, diffusion, and/or washed out colors into scenes for effect.
