A comprehensive comparison of all seven films in Criterion's 2021 World of Wong Kar Wai box set, remastered with a new 4k scan under the guidance of the director himself.
I noticed a while back how challenging it was to find decent analysis and documentation of exactly what had changed in these remasters, so I took it upon myself to try to collect as much of it as possible in one place. Obviously, there will be things I missed or over generalized, but I hope this can serve as a resource for anyone considering picking up the box set or just curious about these interesting and contentious remasters.
