In the Mood for Love (花樣年華)

At last. Twenty-three years after its release, I succeeded in watching this masterpiece. My body's still shivering for the involvement and emotions I experienced during this artwork. Directing, acting, costumes, cinematography, subject and all the rest: everything is absolutely breathtaking. And then there's the music, that incredibly moving theme by Shigeru Umebayashi, one of the most intense and beautiful scores I've heard in my entire life.

It took me several days to write about this movie, simply because I'm still deeply touched by its story and subject. I strongly believe, in fact, that it's impossible to remain indifferent or neutral in face of such a profound demonstration of grief and love. By the way, the cast is absolutely awesome.

A pretty conventional rom-com film, with a fairytale ending and a couple of great actors. Nothing more, in my opinion. An enjoyable experience, though. Mark: 6.5 / 10
