In the Mood for Love

In the Mood for Love
In 1962 Hong Kong, neighbors Su Li-zhen (Mrs. Chan) and Chow Mo-wan (Mr. Chow) discover their spouses are having an affair. As they spend time together, they develop feelings for each other, but their relationship remains chaste and unspoken, reflecting societal constraints and their own moral compass.

Certified Copy is a certified copy of this film! (jk..but imma guess it definitely inspired it!)
Incredibly evocative editing. Incredibly emotional cinematography. Incredibly effective direction. What the fuck
Why in the hell would you meet in the Black Lodge!?
“We’d better not be seen together.” proceeds to stand in close proximity for an extended amount of time within blocks of their homes
Add to list of nice films to fuck to
Whole film kinda revolves around shots showcasing how beautiful one woman and her outfits are. Not complaining. If it works, it works.
Only halfway serious. Really it’s like if The Persistence of Memory was set during a period of love in Hong Kong
Exquisite film. I see why it’s #12 in the NYT 100 Films of the 21st Century list
