Wongs films wereand still aremore art house than mainstream, and he eventually took to not only writing and directing his films but also producing them since they were seen as financially risky. In addition, Wong started to favor making films without a script. This is ironic since he began his career writing scripts for other directors. But with each successive film, Wong relied less and less on a conventional script. Thats because Wong likes to think of himself as a jazz musician, and his hip, free-flowing films like jam sessions. Wongs sessions result in films that approximate jazz improvisation in their rhythms and visual riffs. He begins each project with no more than an idea and the confidence that he can ad-lib the rest.
