Probably the most breathtakingly gorgeous film of the year, dizzy with a nose-against-the-glass romantic spirit that has been missing from the cinema forever.

Excites us with words not spoken, passions not played out. A mood story more than a love story, it's all about sustaining a state of exquisite melancholy in the face of desire.
A stylistically fastidious, exasperatingly affected package that will put most people in the mood for slumber.
The most ingenious device in the story is the way Chow and Su play-act imaginary scenes between their cheating spouses.
Although In the Mood for Love isn't in the mood for action, it dazzles with everything but.
The result is a kind of ultimate romantic film, joining an almost Jamesian sadness and discipline to that extraordinary visual sensibility. It's not the kind of thing you see every day.
