In The Mood For Love (2000)

.

Com In The Mood For Love (2000) de Wong Kar-Wai dou por concluído um "mini-ciclo" de sugestões de cinema asiático que iniciei no post de All About Lily Chou-Chou (2001) em inícios de Outubro.
Tudo filmes que adorei ver, como não podia deixar de ser. Infernal Affairs (2002), The Twilight Samurai (2002), My Sassy Girl (2001), The Art Of Seduction (2005), Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (2000), Kekexili (2004), Nobody Knows (2004) e Welcome To Dongmakgol (2005). E não esquecer que já antes tinha falado em A Viagem De Chihiro (2001) e em 3-Iron (2004). Mais sugestões de filmes orientais surgirão em 2008 ;)

Written, produced and directed by Wong Kar-Wai , In the Mood for Love is probably the most breathtakingly gorgeous film of 2000, dizzy with a romantic spirit that has been missing from the cinema forever. In the early 1960s, in a community of Shanghai refugees living in Hong Kong, Maggie Cheung and Tony Leung play characters married to other people who are renting rooms in apartments next door to each other. They meet, talk and eventually realize that their frequently traveling spouses are off having an affair with each other. They come to lean on each other, developing a complex emotional bond and that need is suffused with desire, which they are unsure how to act upon.
