A beautiful film- intricate editing, gorgeous cinematography and sets, brilliant lighting and color, and a delicate story. Marriage is not easy but being alone is perhaps even harder. The two characters in In The Mood For Love are cautious and patient but only on the outside. Their inner moods and turmoil can be seen in the falling rain, steaming kettles, walls and windows, and empty slippers.
