Even tough the deepness of its simple portrait is remarkable, it kind of let me down at moments, when you expect a wider range of reactions involving love to be expressed by the characters, The repetition of songs imply something at first, but then, as they repeat over and over, they feel disponsable. It's a nice film but I guess not one for the ages

cinematographically speaking, one of the most rich films i've ever seen. tragic, desperate, melancholy and entirely worth your time.

This film possesses the greatest camera movement/artistry I've ever seen. Its power through simplicity lays the foundation for the presence and shape of the entire story.

i remember walking out of the theatre feeling so depressed. i mean, it's an absolutely beautiful movie, but utterly painful as well.

Winner of awards at Cannes, acclaimed director Wong Kar-Wai creates a sensual and dreamy atmosphere aided immeasurably by sumptuous cinematography and a gorgeous musical score. In 1960's Hong Kong, two neighbours come to realise that their spouses are having an affair with each other and partly out of mutual loneliness they begin a tentative friendship which holds the possibility of developing into something more....

A beautiful and mature work, In the Mood is unashamed to be as Romantic as the leads' performances. Despite being a period piece, it is modern in tone, execution, and treatment of subject matter. A sense of restraint pervades the film, mirroring the moderation exercised and pleasures foregone by the protagonists. I find the delightful soundtrack, which heightens both the mood and emotional impact, expertly selected.

An intoxicating and hypnotic experience; Wong Kar-Wai creates a perfect mood with his methodical pace, and dark yet beautiful camerawork. I wish more movies were made with this level of artistry.

This film is simply wonderful. The scenes are gorgeous, especially when they are in slow motion. The music is unforgettable. The actors' performance is amazing.

This film never fails to leave me hungry. They talk about food so much. Noodles, steak, sesame syrup. Food! Food! Food! I love it! I'm eating dinner with the film right now.

Almost every elements in this film add to the mood for love between the main characters. The elements work so nicely together to faithfully created the specific period of the film (1960's Hong Kong). Wong Kar-Wai managed to hypnotic the viewers with the camera movement and sound. Such a haunting atmosphere! There were also some brief slow-motion shots which set hauntingly beautiful score. It leaves me wanting more.

a masterpiece through and through. the images are perfect, the slow motion along with the soundtrack make for some perfect scenes. the story is heartbreaking, and is a perfect essay on the moment when love can both live and die. the film is about moments, regrets, unsaid words. the script is very sharp and the acting is of the first grade especially with maggie cheung. an instant favourite.

I didn't care much for the story, but with such masterful film making (especially the beautiful cinematography) I had one of my most wonderful experiences in watching films. This film is full of life.

I'm obviously in the minority with this opinion but I think it's the weakest of Wai's trilogy by a considerable margin. It begins as sexy, tragic and beautiful as Wai's other films but after a certain amount of time I just wanted to slap the fuckers. Maybe it's just because I know too many of these "will they or won't they" types IRL but after a time it was impossible for me to be sympathetic for them.

Has it been 11 years since I first fell in love with this movie? And how many countless conversations has it inspired? Its famously transient qualities linger like nostalgia for failed romances. Even as scenes fade in memory, the palpable mood remains. As I've gotten older and have plenty more heartbreaks to recount, that distinct, reverie-like melancholy seems to resonate a little differently every time I watch it.
