In the Mood for Love
The title of this film says more than I think most people realize before they view it. This film is all about mood. It's essentially written in the context of a limited understanding of the specifics. Therefore, the mood is key to communicating the story. I love the period dress. Maggie Cheung has portrayed the Hong Kong newcomer before in "Comrades - Almost a Love Story." I enjoyed her performance in that film and looked forward to seeing her here. This performance is hugely restrained and subtly beautiful.
