it won't.
So much to watch, so little time.
Twice have I had this sitting on my to-watch pile, and twice have I returned it to the library without so much as opening the case. The third time will be no different, but I try.
I've hemmed and I've hawed and I've managed to avoid watching the "greatest film ever made" for this long. I suppose I can wait just a bit longer; how does the saying go, "save the best for last"?
Sounds like a Soviet Area-51, with the promise of alien powers to grant one's innermost desires. It's all a bit mysterious, romantic, and perhaps dangerous. Just as 'Solaris' operated on those same themes of longing. Now I've hyped myself up to see this!
In the Mood for Love put a bad taste in my mouth as my first Wong Kar-Wai film. Hoping this will remedy those initial impressions.
Looks generic. I still want to watch it for Dafoe and Gainsbourg, though.
