I've just watched this on video---Wong Kar-wai's 'In the Mood for Love' (2000). It is very minimalist---tis mood and atmosphere without much of a narrative that is bathed in the evocations of popular musical culture.

It left me puzzled: was it a film about sexual desire or alternatively, a film about moral restraint? Moral restraint and internalized repression in Hong Kong in the 1960s is my guess. I've seen no other Wong Kar-wai film.

Now, you can see "2046". It's a sequel for this one. An other great Kar Wai's movie is "Happy toghether" or "The Buenos Aires Affaire". I think he's one of the best directors of this times. Enjoy it.
