Review of In the Mood for Love (2000) by Annelies S — 09 Apr 2009

I had to rewatch the first hour of this movie because I was too confused with all those Asian names and faces and couples mixed up. I took a paper and wrote down all the names and their relation to each other in order to be up-to-date and understand the movie.

The soundtrack was extremely repetitive. The same songs sung by Nat King Cole over and over again alternated with a few Spanish songs. I kept hearing the same songs throughout the movie. Clearly there was not enough money to make this movie.

I was not too touched by it actually. The story was acceptable but a bit too easy.
