Tony Rayns, Who Helped Bring Asian Film to the World, Dies at 77

In reviews and at festivals, he played a key role in introducing English-speaking audiences to directors like Wong Kar-wai, Jia Zhangke and Bong Joon Ho.

British film critic and programmer Tony Rayns was the leading bridge between English-speaking audiences and Chinese directors. He traveled to Asia, befriended young filmmakers, translated and wrote English subtitles, and programmed their movies for Western festivals like the Vancouver International Film Festival to boost their global fame.

Rayns spent decades introducing Western viewers to bold, distinct Asian cinema. He was a lifelong champion of groundbreaking Chinese and Taiwanese directors. His work connected English-speaking fans with several key creators: [1, 2, 3, 4]

Wong Kar-wai: Rayns championed the stylish Hong Kong director known for romantic, visually stunning films like In the Mood for Love.
