Tony Leung proves he's one of the world's great contemporary leading men in this close examination of love. His progression from disinterest to interest to infatuation to love is a wonder, with nary a hint of histrionics, bombast, or "acting."
This film has a Proustian quality in its deliberateness, attention to detail, and inevitability.
The score is haunting and skillfully used: it compliments scenes instead of announcing or dominating them.
If ever there was an epic film of love (or a film of epic love...), "In the Mood for Love" is it.
Follow Ups:
A perfect bore. One of the very few that I despite from A to Z.
This has been discussed here already BTW
from under the bed and then left!!!What a film!
One of my favorites. 2046 is also great- remeber the room he moved into later? It was room 2046 and the story carris forth from there in 2046 with different women.
which is supposedly kind of a sequel to "In the Mood.." I've seen 2046 and found it, um, intriguing, but I haven't seen "In the Mood" yet..
2046 is very similar to Lynche's Mulholland Drive, and everything that implies...
asd
..found 2046 not up to par with In the Mood when it came out.
I haven't seen yet.

Agreed, a fascinating, almost trance-like love film.
The score is beautiful.
imperceptively are moved from one heart-felt scene to another. No filler, no art for art's sake shots.
The result is that Wai can deliver a much heavier, fuller-storied feature than other filmmakers. Also, his style of cutting from one confusingly framed shot to another allows him more deliberately to pace the film than others: the viewer pays rapt attention or soon is lost.
