In The Mood For Love (2000)

Well for today, I choose the film "In The Mood For Love".

Director: Wong Kar Wai

Cast: Maggie Cheung, Tony Leung

Plot: Set in Hong Kong, 1962, Chow Mo-Wan (Tony Leung) is a newspaper editor who moves into a new building with his wife. At approximately the same time, Su Li-zhen (Maggie Cheung), a beautiful secretary and her executive husband also move in to the crowded building. With their spouses often away, Chow and Li-zhen spend most of their time together as friends. The tentative friendship between the two neighbours becomes more complex when they discover that their respective spouses are having an affair...

My review: Personally, this is one of my favorites of all time. I'm not a girl that is very into romantic films because I think they are always so "cliché" but this was a wonderful surprise. This was the film that made like Wong Kar Wai because his style is so unique and peculiar, he can make the most romantic films in this world without using the usual cheesy romance plot. This film is very romantic in the sense that, we can see that the main characters have deep feelings for each other but they don't express it in a very evident way, the same feeling is applied to the sensuality of the characters, they can be very sensuous without being too explicit about their intentions. Plus, I loved the scenes that were shot in slow motion because it captivates even more the viewer's attention. Simply gorgeous and very romantic in a very "unromantic" way. Keep your mind open because it's definately worth watching it! In the Mood for Love
