This is how it goes: I find this awesome book--about something I'm really into with amazing design that's super hard to find. I show it to Eric. I might even buy a copy for him. Then before you know it, he's got the GR store carrying it and selling it for less money than what I paid.
Milkway Image, Beyond Imagination is my latest book. It celebrates 10 years of filmmaking by Wai Ka-fai and Johnnie To, two Hong Kong's best. At the moment, I think they make the best gangster films in the world. Election 2 just came out, and I'm waiting for my imported DVD to show up in the mail.
But back to the book, it's got essays, synopses, and photos galore, This is no fan book. It's got lengthy, smart interviews with the directors, critics, and actors including Simon Yam, Andy Lau, and Lau Ching-Wan, among others. No Tony Leung? Oh well.
Here's the cover:

Damn that book looks awesome.
Taschen are doing a Michael Mann book like they did for Kubrick this fall. That Kubrick book may be my most treasured film book ever made.
