In the Mood for Love

Un chef d'oeuvre jamais égalé, un summum d'élégance et de sensibilité, des dialogues quasi inexistants, un rythme lent sur une musique magique. Tout est suggéré rien n'est affirmé, images parfaites, acteurs au top. A voir évidemment en VO.

It took a little bit long to arrived but it is a good movie!

Mr. Chow, played by Tony Leung and Su Li-zhen, played by Maggie Cheung move into neighboring apartments on the same day. Shortly after moving into their apartments, they notice that their spouses are having an affair, and slowly, the two people develop a relationship and find comforts from each other. They have moral values and do not want to be like their cheating spouses. The plot is not the usual boy-meets-girl love story, but a story of two people with hidden feelings for each other. The plot is relatively simple, but forceful and convincing. The audience can easily identify with the loneliness, love and other emotions of the main characters. The film is set in 1960's Hong Kong, and the filming locations as well as the wardrobe help to create the environment of the 60's. The Chinese dresses that Maggie Cheung wears are exceptionally elegant and accentuate her feminine characteristics. To some people, the Chinese dresses bring back the sentimental memories of a period in Hong Kong that no longer exists. The soundtrack is a major component of the film, and the introductory string music of Yumeji Theme at the beginning of the movie establishes the tempo and the mood of the movie. The waltz tempo of this theme suggests that two lovers are dancing together slowly. The string music is sublime, but sad just like the two main characters, two attractive people with gorgeous costumes in a sad love story that has no happy ending. The repetition of this piece of string music reinforces the pace and the mood of the movie and builds up tension while the selection of Spanish songs sung by Nat King Cole reflects the Latin influence on Hong Kong music in the 60's. Much of the movie is filmed indoors or at night to create a melancholy feeling. The cinematography is superb, and from the beginning till the end of the movie, each frame of the picture seems to put forth some magic power and enchants the viewers. The movie is delightful to the senses, but it has a sad love story.
