Their encounters are formal and polite—until a discovery about their spouses creates an intimate bond between them. At once delicately mannered and visually extravagant, Wong Kar Wai’s In the Mood for Love is a masterful evocation of romantic longing and fleeting moments. With its aching musical soundtrack and exquisitely abstract cinematography by Christopher Doyle and Mark Lee Ping-bin, this film has been a major stylistic influence on the past two decades of cinema, and it is a milestone in Wong’s redoubtable career. (Dir.: Wong Kar Wai, Hong Kong, 2000, 98 min., Cantonese with English subtitles) Images courtesy of Janus Films |
