I remember back when this girl and I were still together, she once asked me when I fell in love with her. I told her it was like a house you pass every day on the way to work. One day, you notice a for sale sign on an empty lot. Another day you drive by and you notice they've laid the foundations. Another day, the walls are up, and another day there's a roof, a garage, and finally a family living inside. You don't know exactly when all this happened; you just looked one day and noticed it was there.
I tell you this story because it reminds me of a line from In the Mood for Love --…

The scenes where the main song of the film appears and the protagonists come and go in slow motion, are a cinematographic orgasm rarely achieved in the history of the cinema

"In the old days, if someone had a secret they didn't want to share... You know what they did?"
"No idea."
"They went up a mountain, found a tree, carved a hole in it, and whispered the secret into the hole. Then they covered it with mud. And leave the secret there forever."
"What a pain! I'd just go get laid."
Still probably the definitive cinematic depiction of romantic longing and loneliness. Every texture, color, composition, song, and overall stylistic flourish contributes to an intense mood of lush melancholy. Also helps that most of this movie is just two of the hottest Hong Kong actors of all time, sitting around beautiful mise-en-scène in beautiful clothing, smoking, and eating noodles sensually.

“It is a restless moment…”
Writing about “In the Mood for Love” has always been a bit like dancing about architecture. “If we could tell a film,” a frustrated Jafar Panahi once raged under house arrest, “then why make a film?” If we could express in words the heart-stopping beauty of Wong Kar Wai’s sensually choreographed shadow tango (or bottle the shudder of feeling that runs up our spines at the first strains of “Yumeji’s Theme”), he wouldn’t have felt compelled to shoot it. For 15 months straight. To an extent that’s true of all Wong’s work, which is singularly cinematic even in its shortcomings. But the feeling is perhaps most palpable with “In the Mood for Love,” which was…

you know how in the Sixth Sense the color red represents that ghosts are around? okay well this is just like that except red represents me wanting to fucking die and its in every shot
Among other things, this is a film about how hard it is to watch movies all the time when you’re married. Why is In the Mood for Love so good?When the characters' unconventional romance is based on a shared bond of sadness, the foreshadowing is clear that this will be a tragic love story. Something that makes this movie so unique is that it deals with the idea of the impossible thing, gorgeously revealing the inherent sadness in desire. Is In the Mood for Love worth watching?A mood story more than a love story, it's all about sustaining a state of exquisite melancholy in the face of desire. If it is possible to find the erotic register of despair, or the romantic dimension of ennui, then Wong Kar-wai certainly achieves it in his new film. July 15, 2023 | Rating: 5/5 | Full Review… Why didn t they end up together In the Mood for Love?The movie's ending is the purest crystallization of its themes. In short, it becomes clear that any romance between Su and Chow will never be. The latter tells Su he loves her and when he has to leave for a new job, he asks her to come with him; he waits but eventually leaves, and she arrives too late. What is the plot of In the Mood for Love?In 1962, journalist Chow Mo-wan (Tony Leung Chiu Wai) and his wife move into a Hong Kong apartment, but Chow's spouse is often away on business. Before long, the lonely Chow makes the acquaintance of the alluring Su Li-zhen (Maggie Cheung Man-yuk), whose own significant other also seems preoccupied with work. As the two friends realize their respective partners are cheating on them, they begin to fall for one another; however, neither wants to stoop to the level of the unfaithful spouses.In the Mood for Love / Film synopsisnull |
