Review of In the Mood for Love (2000) by Samuel K — 07 Nov 2012
One of the subtlest and most refreshing romance films in many years, In the Mood for Love delivers an amazing storyline enhanced by spellbinding visuals. This masterpiece shines a new light on the genre, giving the audiences an engaging insight into the relationship of two people with similar tastes yet with different visions of a love-filled life.
When those two characters discover that their partners are cheating on them with one another, they start to form a closer bond, still without consuming their feelings. It's a stylish, very sensuous film that is as artistic in its form as it is stirring in its substance.
With love and relations often comes loneliness, and In the Mood for Love is Kar-Wai Wong's persuasive attempt at exploring this conception.
