Review of In the Mood for Love (2000) by Bobby B — 24 Nov 2009
In the Mood For Love is stunningly beautiful. Wong Kar-Wai once again shows his talent for gorgeous visuals and music that fits perfectly. Wong Kar-Wai's style gives In the Mood for Love a very haunting, sadly romantic atmosphere that I loved - however, there's not a whole lot more to this film.
The characters and their situation are quietly tragic and interesting, but they were never fleshed out enough for me to truly care about them. I can't rave enough about Wong Kar-Wai's beautiful, haunting style, but his characters were emotionally flat.
However, I really like In the Mood for Love's sort-of-sequel, 2046 - that one has the same wonderful atmosphere, but a much more interesting plot and characters.
