Wong Kar-Wai Video Interview On ‘The Grandmaster’

Wong Kar-wei‘s new film The Grandmaster chronicles the life of the kung fu master Ip Man in his flight to Hong Kong after the Second Sino-Japanese War. “Action scenes are almost like a love scene, without any motivation it becomes very boring so we need to have the motivation,” the director told Uinterview in an exclusive video. “It’s not only the physical intensity it’s also the emotional intensity.”

The Grandmaster is played by Tony Leung, a martial arts novice. “He was 47. He never made a kung fu film before or had any training in martial arts, so when I propose him, I said you are going to play the master of Bruce Lee, you’re not going to act like you can fight. You have to actually practice, and he pulled it off very nicely. Working with Tony, you will always be surprised and he always can deliver more than you expected,” Kar-wai told Uinterview.
