The French New Wave movement of the 1950s and 1960s was a breath of fresh wind of innovation for the dull film industry. As one of the critical theories of this movement, the auteur theory provided an essential theoretical basis for expressing individual artistic ideas by film artists. This theory and the movement also had a significant impact on the world, and film director Wong Kar Wai was one of those influences. This paper shall look at director Wong Kar Wai's filmography, using auteur theory as a guide and synthesising the authorship qualities present in Wong's films in terms of thematic concerns, narrational strategies and stylistic features. At the same time, the paper also discusses the relationship between the stylistic formation of Wong's films and his collaborators, as well as the broader cinematic, industrial and cultural contexts in which he can be situated. In conclusion, this study aims to investigate Wong's auteur identity through in-depth textual analyses.
