In the Mood for Love Reviews

I already saw this movie but since it was such a long time ago, I was really eager to check it out again. In fact, I did see this flick in the movie theater when it was released almost 20 years  ago and, at the time, it was a massive critical success so I had some rather high expectations. I don’t know, maybe I was too young but, at the time, even though I did like it, I can't say I thought it was great like everyone seemed to think. Indeed, I thought it was a little bit frustrating and I wish this couple would just kiss each other and move on with their life instead of remaining stuck for some rather obscure reasons. And, yet, after re-watching the damned thing, I have to admit that I was really impressed this time around. To be honest, I was still not really fascinated by the story but the whole thing looked just so amazing, it is easily Wong Kar-Wai's best directing effort and I would go further and I argue that it is one of the most gorgeous movies ever made. Anyway, to conclude, I'm really glad I gave this movie a 2nd chance, I now really love the damned thing and it is definitely worth a look, especially if you like the genre or if you are interested in Wong  Kar-Wai's work.
