In the mood for love

In the mood for love (98 min)

Seen on the 11th January 2009

A very enjoyable film! The picture and the music are only two of the sensual elements of this visual poetry. Mr. X and Mrs. Y (the X and Y are mind) really have nothing in common except for sharing the corridor of their flats in Honk Kong. The landlady notices that with time neither Mr. X and Mrs. Y have nothing else to do in their spare time. These two have a wife and a husband who are always abroad. They get to know each other eventually when both of them in the noodles bar.

Mr. and Mrs. start realizing that their partners have very similar times to disappear and realize they are actually having an affair and that the move to this new flat was not casual. Mr. ad Mrs. start having a reaction to the unfaithfulness of their partners and start dating slowly leading to a more profound relationship. This relationship has to move on so they go to Singapore where they realize the force of their love might not be as strong as a normal reaction to the unfaithfulness of their partners. The last minutes of the film go fast and makes us think about the love that could have been but never was true.
