A Beautiful, Melancholic and Romantic Love Story
In Hong Kong, 1962, the editor Chow Mo-wan (Tony Leung Chiu Wai) and his wife, and the secretary Su Li-Zhen Chan (Maggie Cheung) and her husband simultaneously move to an old building. Each couple has just rented a room in apartments on the same floor. Their wife and husband stay most of the time away from home, and Chow and Li-Zhen have the same habits: they like kung-fu stories and noodles and soap from a restaurant nearby the building. Their close contact becomes friendship and a sort of platonic and repressed love. Later they realize that their mates are having an affair, Chow falls in love with Li-Zhen, but her shyness and probably repressed condition of married woman keeps her love in a platonic level. ‘In the Mood for Love’ is a very slow, beautiful, melancholic and romantic love story, with a wonderful photography and soundtrack and a very unusual edition. The film had not had a screenplay, and the actors were never sure about what they would be shooting. Later, the director edited his story based on the footages. When Chow moves to Singapore, there is a gap of many years in the story until 1966, when its conclusion is intentionally open and not well defined, leaving questions such as who is the boy with Li-Zhen. My vote is eight.

Title (Brazil): ‘Amor À Flor da Pele’ (‘Love on the Surface of the Skin’)

Great romantic movie, if you are in the mood for it
Pardon the pun, but the truth is I have seen this film twice. Once it just felt pretentious, frustrating and pointless. The second time it resonated with me and I could suddenly see the characters like a veil was lifted from my eyes. The movie’s strength and weakness both stands in the way the characters express their feelings through micro expressions, through gestures that get unanswered or misunderstood.

So it is pure romance, with the sweet agony of love, the bitter pain of betrayal, with tension that builds and builds throughout the film until one feels it must burst. Depending on your state of mind, it can be a boring story about people who don’t know what they want, a painful depiction of people who cannot escape their culture, a cowardly dance or a deep characterization of real people who choose to make hard choices. The truth is somewhere in the middle with the film, though. Perhaps the ability to see different things in the film depending on your mood is a testament to its quality.

This is not a romantic comedy, it’s a romantic drama. It makes you think and feel and ask yourself questions, it doesn’t release, amuse or entertain. The actors, the direction, the era, the music, all were chosen very well. A tad long, perhaps, but it is only to extend the viewer’s perspective on opportunities lost and choices regretted and the feelings of the main characters. Good movie!
