Wong Kar-Wai’s directorial debut was Wong Gok ka moon (1988; As Tears Go By). The film tells the story of a young man torn between his love for his cousin and his friendship with his impetuous Triad “brother.” The film is Wong’s most conventional in terms of style and narrative but presents some features of his later work, such as his trademark form of pulsating slow motion and an expressive use of popular music.
