Few films capture the essence of romance and melancholy like Wong’s In the Mood for Love, a work of pure sensuality that follows two neighbors in the early 1960s (Maggie Cheung, Tony Leung Chiu-wai) “in the mood for love,” yet too proper to act on it. The film’s physical grace is supplied by Cheung and Leung, both luminously attired in some of the most fabulous outfits ever assembled, while its mood rises from the camerawork of Christopher Doyle and Mark Lee Ping Bin—which lingers on hands, hips, and silhouettes—and all of the moments that could have led, but never do, to love.
