AND SOUND on IN THE MOOD FOR LOVE:\u003C/b>\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>The signs were already there that Wong Kar Wai’s woozy, hungry, love story was likely to earn a significant promotion in this year’s poll. Ten years ago, it stood out as the best-performing film of the 21st century in the critics’ list, landing in 24th place. With a fresh generation of critics chiming in—one that cinematically came of age when Wong’s film had already attained modern-classic status—it was sure to rise up the ranks.\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>IN THE MOOD FOR LOVE’s spectacular top five placement, however, demonstrates the broadly seductive allure of a mid-century Hong Kong period piece that looks both forward and back, wallowing in nostalgia for a purer, lusher form of cinematic romanticism while carving out more modern, even avant-garde forms of sensual and psychological expression from its saturated style. It’s a film that invites you to think, “They don’t make them like they used to”—even though you know they never quite made them quite like this. The film’s essential romantic narrative of forbidden yearnings and missed connections may be the stuff of vintage melodrama, but less familiar is the way Wong expands the simple anatomy of a thwarted love affair into an elastic meditation on personal unrest, political statelessness and the violence of time’s unrelenting passage.\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>The film never tells you it’s about any of that, of course. Wong’s porous, often headily non-verbal filmmaking trusts us to feel the lovers’ ennui and melancholy—and further, to identify it within ourselves—via its sheer accumulation of sounds, images and sense memories: be it the damp wraiths of steam swirling from an opened noodle container, the warm, vinyl-roughened croon of Nat King Cole on the soundtrack or the impossible lobby-card beauty of Tony Leung and Maggie Cheung, both preserved here in their ravishing prime, and somehow convincing as ordinary mortals made movie-star beautiful by love.\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>We’re living through a fairly stifled age of visual storytelling, as the televisual pull of streaming culture encourages filmmakers to think smaller and more literal. As moving as its relationship study is, anybody who thinks of IN THE MOOD FOR LOVE, however, thinks first of those sensory flourishes and grace notes—it’s a film that even, somehow, has a signature scent. Its visual and sonic fragments cumulatively evoke not just a firmly past time and place but a mood, a feeling, a sorrow that drifts from the film’s world to ours. That must account for its enduring, even increasing, popularity: it lingers like an unrequited crush.\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>—Guy Lodge\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>\u003Ca href=\"https://www.bfi.org.uk/film/1b8c3bcb-842f-5ba2-90ee-39b6b40b7c21/in-the-mood-for-love\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read more at bif.org.uk\u003C/a>\u003C/p>\n",98,"Wong Kar Wai’s masterpiece is a heartbreaking story of illicit love that pulses with the ache of repressed desire.",{"content":709},"\u003Cp>2000 Hong Kong, France—\u003Cstrong>35mm (original color grading)\u003C/strong>\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cem>In Cantonese w/English subtitles.\u003C/em>\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cstrong>Directed by:\u003C/strong>\u003Cbr />\nWong Kar Wai\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cstrong>Produced by:\u003C/strong>\u003Cbr />\nWong Kar Wai\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cstrong>Written by:\u003C/strong>\u003Cbr />\nWong Kar Wai\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cstrong>Featuring:\u003C/strong>\u003Cbr />\nMaggie Cheung Man-yuk, Tony Leung Chiu-wai, Rebecca Pan Di-hua\u003C/p>\n",{"hero":711},{"fullSized":685,"hasBanner":685,"hasDateTile":685,"hasInfoBar":685,"dateTile":712,"banner":713,"image":714,"infoBar":719},{"date":25},{"ctaLinkIsExternal":685,"ctaText":25,"header":25,"subHeader":25,"transparent":685,"ctaLink":25,"ctaPage":25},{"node":715},{"altText":62,"caption":25,"description":25,"mediaItemUrl":716,"srcSet":717,"sourceUrl":716,"title":718},"https://d10zn0plegbrn4.cloudfront.net/uploads/2023/07/home-inthemoodforlove.jpg","https://d10zn0plegbrn4.cloudfront.net/uploads/2023/07/home-inthemoodforlove-300x125.jpg 300w, https://d10zn0plegbrn4.cloudfront.net/uploads/2023/07/home-inthemoodforlove-600x250.jpg 600w, https://d10zn0plegbrn4.cloudfront.net/uploads/2023/07/home-inthemoodforlove-1024x427.jpg 1024w, https://d10zn0plegbrn4.cloudfront.net/uploads/2023/07/home-inthemoodforlove-768x320.jpg 768w, https://d10zn0plegbrn4.cloudfront.net/uploads/2023/07/home-inthemoodforlove.jpg 1340w","home-inthemoodforlove",{"content":25,"ctaLinkIsExternal":685,"ctaText":25,"ctaLink":25,"ctaPage":25},{"iFFBostonSettings":721},{"iffbostonSiteSettings":722},{"socialMedia":723},{"facebook":724,"instagram":725,"twitter":726,"youtube":727,"tiktok":728,"threads":729,"bluesky":730,"letterboxd":731},"http://www.facebook.com/iffboston/","https://www.instagram.com/iffboston/","https://x.com/iffboston","https://www.youtube.com/user/iffboston","https://www.tiktok.com/@iffboston","https://www.threads.com/@iffboston","https://bsky.app/profile/iffboston.bsky.social","https://letterboxd.com/iffboston/"]
