I feel like universally acclaimed movies are ordinary easy pickin's in the review business. But in preparation for a rewatch of Everything Everywhere All At Once (2022), I've decided to watch a few movies that I hadn't and which were tangentially related to EEAAO, and Wong Kar-wai's In the Mood For Love (2000) fits that bill. Not only does EEAAO pay homage to this film in a few scenes, but Ke Huy Quan worked for Wong behind the camera on a number of projects.

Overall, I'm hoping to gain a greater context and appreciation for one of my favorite pictures of 2022.
