When you feel like movies are no longer pieces of art , you should watch in the mood for love , the colour palettes , sensual aura and expressionistic shots convey beauty and sorrow at each scene accompanied by a tearing violin melody that quickly becomes unforgettable.

It's perfect. A story full of sensitivity, music that makes your skin crawl, a cinematic masterpiece.

A brutally honest love story.

One of Wong Kar Wai's best. A Top 10 for sure, and will forever remain there. There will never be another movie as beautiful as this.

Absolute cinematic eye candy! Wong Kar Wai's "In the Mood for Love" will have the audience sinking in their seats and their focus balancing on the edge of a cliff. With two powerhouse leads softly and gently delivering betrayal and the heartbreak of what should have been, this work in cinema will shatter all those who watch it.

导演特别版。无处不在的墙壁与门窗一方面有形地限制了角色的生活空间、制造出二人或合或散的距离，另一方面则无声地指示着社会的规训与关系发展的有限。用预演体会陌生的情感、用武侠小说构筑短暂的连接，电话连线让私密触碰公共、同处一室却被“公共”阻断了私密，最终在动荡与变革到来前将内心封存于时间中、投向不远的未来——如此便架起了新旧勾连的桥。二十多年过去，“新关系”变旧，而泛黄的“旧感情”似乎又闪亮起来了。

剧情拍mv都凑不够五分钟。导演极其私人的产物，不知所云。

The rave reviews on the first couple of pages appear to be planted by people with an agenda. No way in hell do I believe that the average movie-goer wrote all of these rave reviews. People don't usually care about poetic camera work, cinematography, exotic music, and artsy dialog. This movie didn't say much, and it didn't tell the story well. Disappointing and overrated.

Pristine love is love never fully pursued. A stylized voyeuristic depiction of a romantic relationship that remains trapped in the budding phase by societal taboos. It has a hauntingly beautiful soundtrack that pairs perfectly with the melancholic love story that is born and told through experimental editing. Every December Christmas pays royalty checks to Wong Kar-wai to use the red-green contrasting color pallet that he invented and perfected with this film. Kar-wai’s directing of the stunning Tony Leung Chiu-wai and Maggie Cheung results in some of the most beautiful shots ever put to film. It’s an entrancing experience that leaves the viewer with the weight of the entire lifecycle of a bittersweet relationship.
