Haha. I pretty much wrote the whole darn thing about Kar-Wai, but looking back on it now, I’m sure this is one of those things that could warrant a thesis. Thanks for the heads up and thanks for the link. Good stuff.

And thanks for visiting!

Hi there,
I just found your review and linked to it in the body of my review. I really liked the things you said about the movie. I don’t think enough about the director. I usually focus on the actors and the characters they create, but the director definitely has so much power over the story. I agree that the mastery over the material is excellent. Here’s my review if you want to read it. http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/7963313/movie_review_in_the_mood_for_love_2000.html?cat=40

I watched “2046″ first and didn’t really like it. Maybe not having seen the first film I’ll like it more.

Cool, I’ll be interested in your thoughts on Chungking Express. I haven’t seen it in about 10 years, so I don’t remember too much, but I remember it being good. Did you know that he doesn’t shoot with a script? Just basic ideas and a framework. I don’t know if he still does that, but all his older movies were done that way.

Yeah, that’s definitely on the list. I actually have Chungking Express waiting for me at home from Netflix and I’m really looking forward to that. Really digging Kar-Wai at the moment.

You should also watch the kind-of sequel that Wong Kar-Wai made called “2046″ if you liked this. I liked it better than In the Mood for Love.

Easily my favorite from Wai, a brilliant and moody film that I seriously considered putting ahead of Shawshank in my top spot of all time, but decided I needed to hold off on doing anything like that until after a few more viewings.

Probably my favorite film from this director. I never got the overwhelming love for him until I saw this film. So beautifully understated and visually tantalizing that I couldn’t help but fall in love with it.

It’s easily among my favorites of the decade.
