Review of In the Mood for Love (2000) by Reuben P — 26 Aug 2009
One of the most stunning, and beautiful films I've ever seen. Easily, one of the best films of the 2000s. The classical motifs are gorgeous, the cinematography is one of the best of all time and the story is incredible.
Classic. Wong Kar-Wai will never get better than this. Chungking Express comes close but this is his masterpiece. His usage of color in this film is mind-blowing (from the costumes to the walls to art direction; everything is perfect).
You could frame almost every shot of this film. Music and time play a very important role as well. It is the definition of a romantic art-house film. A slow burn whose rewards are endless. A really beautiful piece of work.
