Lumsdal Good , But It Is Overrated By Some

Helllins It is both painfully honest and laugh-out-loud funny at the same time.

filippaberry84 I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Leoni Haney Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.

adonis98-743-186503 Two neighbors, a woman and a man, form a strong bond after both suspect extramarital activities of their spouses. However, they agree to keep their bond platonic so as not to commit similar wrongs. In the mood for love is another romantic films that fails on being actually romantic, it was actually pretty boring except charming as i hoped it was going to be at least. The chemistry between the 2 leads was very bad and choppy and the overall storyline quite the snooze fest and just another bad film on the Top 250 movies of all time sad but true. (0/10)

christianleepoulsen I am surprised by all of the reviews, they talk about the artistic way things were portrayed through cimetography through wardrobe etc. All great points and this is an artistic masterpiece for sure, however the real beauty I believe is in the message and how it is portrayed through the art in this film. I won't spoil it for others but I will try and stead you in the right direction. Look at what great pains the film goes through to help you see that this movie is about helping us all understand we are all vulnerable and capable of any of the errors or flaws we see in others. A great movie with a great message and what a beautiful way of showing it as well!

rabbit-26960 I have put off writing this review for so long but I felt that I could not go on longer without paying this movie tribute. This is also my first review on this site. I didn't even intend to write it in the first place, because until now, I still don't believe my words will do justice to the sheer beauty of this movie.The first thing that catch your eyes when watching the movie is probably Mrs. Chan's "cheongsam". This also seems to be all women's sole costume choice throughout the entire movie. The "cheongsams" are elegantly designed, highly complementing of Maggie Cheung's lithe body, for it accentuates every curve and edge of the body. Mrs. Chan, like her dresses, is always immaculate, in her hair, her graceful gait. All of this deliberately adds to the sensuality of the movie, without being crude. Moreover, the "cheongsams" also indicate time pass by, every time a new one appears on-screen, we know it's a new day.The next thing that is highly prevalent and which I greatly revelled in is the use of window shots. The brilliant use of this techniques creates a sense of observation to viewers. It felt to me that I was watching something secretive yet enticing in its own way, and the general mood this technique actuates is simply beautiful.There are a lot more, my words do not do any justice to this movie, the use of colours, slow shots, silhouettes, the soundtrack (Oh how I love the soundtrack)... The absolutely breath-taking corridor sequence, the brilliantly filmed conversation in the restaurant (I had never witnessed a more consummate handling of a scene). This movie is incredibly, heart-throbbingly sensual, yet, there was never a need for an explicit act of sexuality.As I once said on Quora, while I was watching this movie, there was a lump in my throat, a swell of almost overwhelming emotions and sentimentality in my body that felt like on the brink of bursting out, yet it did not, and for the first time in my life I felt frustrated and defeated that I don't have the command of as intricate and sophisticated wording as writers like Vladimir Nobokov, so my words simply will not do In The Mood For Love any justice.

oloanharahap I Love this masterpiece by Wong Kar Wai. The cinematography, The Acting, The music especially in this film just incredible. Once you heard "Yumeji's Theme" it never leaves you after the film ends. A unique experience for romantic theme. The noodles scene, the smoking scene, the camera works made me fall in love with this art house cinema by WKW. There's no sex scene and there's no dramatic scene but we can feel the love in this film. The film itself nothing more than a tragedy and ironic even though sometimes there was funny scene between Tony Leung and Maggie Cheung characters. Not many people can enjoy this type of film but if you do i believe you'll feel the same that this is one of the best romantic film ever. 9 out of 10.
