Filmmaker Wong Kar-wai is getting his films restored in 4K ahead of the 20th anniversary of "In the Mood for Love", his most celebrated work till date.
The director said the technology update was important for a better viewing experience as the projections are now done in 4K.
"We've been working on these restorations for a long time. A few years ago I watched my film somewhere, looked at the monitor, and said, 'Why does it look so messy?' They said, 'Now we are used to 4K projections, so you have to upgrade it, otherwise you will have those kind of feelings.'
"It's a very interesting history and experience that hasn't been addressed properly, and I think that would be something that would be very interesting to do. That's why we also went to Chinatown here (in Honolulu), because that's the first spot before San Francisco Chinatown."
