Review of In the Mood for Love (2000) by Martin T — 31 Jul 2008
I can praise the exquisite visual style, achieved in splendid color by two great cinematographers. And I can mention Wong's trademark repeated use of musical cues. I could point out how beautifully the film works with confined space, and the multiple reflections as a metaphor for how Mr.
Chow and Mrs. Chan are mirroring their spouses. But what I can't articulate is why I don't love the movie more. It's got so many qualities that I appreciate, but it... just doesn't grab me enough.
