Episode 106: IN THE MOOD FOR LOVE (2000)

Wong Kar-wai’s masterpiece IN THE MOOD FOR LOVE is an unimpeachable culmination of his best filmmaking tendencies, honed to a devastating sheen. In this story of two reticent would-be lovers bonding over the infidelity of their spouses, to be “in the mood for love” means to recognize who you are when you love, the roles and identities that come with loving outside yourself, and the ablution of self under the innate human desire for connection. 48:36 - The Aaron Grossman Wong Kar-wai Filmed Apartment Quality Index (AGWKWFAQI) 1:17:59 - Cody’s Noteys (The Noteys-Approved Tony Leung Chiu-wai Alignment of Character Report [NATLCWACR]) Follow us on Twitter at https://twitter.com/trylovepodcast and email us at [email protected] to get in touch!
