One of the most beautifully made films that I've ever seen. Stunning cinematography, touching score, some brilliantly written dialogue and a brilliant on screen pairing of Maggie Cheung and Tony Leung Chiu Wai. Has all the elements of a masterpiece and no doubt one the most un-appreciated films that I can think of.One of my favourite films. Absolutely blew me away. Wong Kar Wai is an absolute geni... read more

Movie Reviews (part 4) (50 movies items)

Movie Diary - February 2013 (17 movies items)

"In the beginning there were two or three questions which I asked myself about the plot of In the Mood for Love and it were great moments when they got answered. Especially in the beginning there was a lot of confusion. And then when the movie went on it was the same question again and again which I stated and it never really was answered. I'm afraid I missed something I should've not missed. But the absence of the answer would depict a great beckon, too. There was a vast number of great scenes a"
