Summary: gorgeous movie
Comment: You will not be able to take your eyes off the screen. This movie is breathtakingly beautiful and it showcases some of the best acting on earth. Much of the story is told with body language and facial expression rather than with words, and the direction and cinematography are brilliant. In my opinion, this is one of the all time greatest movies ever filmed.

Summary: In the Mood for Love
Comment: "In the Mood for Love" is one of those films that if I no longer had it in my collection, I don't know that I necessarily would miss it. For me, it's not really a "must-have." Sure, initially you watch it and are bowled over. Style is so much a central element in this movie and you are drenched in it: the lurid colors (greens and reds and blues), the music (Nat King Cole, opera, Shanghai pop), the slo-mo as a character ascends back alley steps, the long takes in which there is just a slow drag on a cigarette, a glacial glance downwards. All of this is beautiful. Make no mistake. It is indeed wonderful to watch. But there are times in this film when all this languid atmosphere threatens to drown the rather simple story of two people, both married, who share an unlikely and upsetting bond. It doesn't quite, but it comes close. This is a chamber drama for the music video generation except perhaps the video lasts a tad too long. I give it four stars because of its sheer hothouse spectacle, the poignancy of the story, and because the director never quite loses control, though I do think Criterion's two-disc treatment lends it more of an importance than perhaps it deserves. Bottom line: I liked it more the first time I saw it; the novelty had worn off during the second time.

Summary: Best movie ever !!!
Comment: If you're a real movie fan, this is one of the movies that you must see. This criterion collection edition of this classic is incredible, excelent extras and great package.
The only problem was that it arrived 2 weeks later than the date it was supposed to.

Summary: Extraordinary Movie
Comment: This movie is simply enchanting. The director's consummate use of color, the musical score, and the detailed attention to the historical setting -- 60's Hong Kong -- was sublime. The main characters are statuesquely beautiful and Mrs Chan, in particular, is delectable in her body hugging dresses (qipao). The real thrill is the story line: erotic, without being coarse, passionate and sensual without being prurient, provocatively sexy and yet moral. Its a refreshing change from the lascivious drivel that we often endure from Hollywood. Interview excerpts in the second CD (Criterion collection), especially the director's commentaries, as well as the alternative endings are both revealing and captivating.

Hong Kong, 1962: Chow Mo-wan and Su Li-zhen move into neighboring apartments on the same day. Their encounters are polite and formal-until a discovery about their respective spouses sparks an intimate bond. At once delicately mannered and visually stunning, Wong Kar-wai's In the Mood for Love is a masterful evocation of romantic longing and fleeting moments in time.
