Poznan Radio

Hisae had to renew her visa, so we jumped aboard the Berlin-Warszawa Express and went to Poznan. It was my first trip to Poland. Here, in the form of a radio programme, are my first impressions. As a Polish pope dies Hisae and I watch Wong Kar Wai's 2046 in Cantonese with Polish subtitles, look at paintings, sit in cafes, admire the architecture, read design books, lie in the sun on the central square... and try to figure out why the local skinheads are wearing White Power Poland t-shirts when we can't see a single non-white person in town.

Well, Jean-Yves Escoffier, Leos Carax's favourite cinematographer, was selected by WKW to shoot 2046, and made some of it before dying suddenly of a heart attack in April 2003. It was then that WKW called his old associate Chris Doyle in to finish the job, despite some tension between them.
