Wong Kar-waiвЂ™s 7th feature film is a wonder to behold sumptuously designed, gorgeously colored, profoundly sad - this is a movie you can simply drown yourself in.ДЄfter already staking a claim as the most exciting filmmaker on the planet, Wong just keeps getting better. Winner of a special technical jury prize at last yearвЂ™s Cannes Film Festival (for its production designer William Chang, and cinematographers Christopher Doyle and Li Ping-Bing), вЂњIn the Mood for LoveвЂќ makes a strong case for making movies on celluloid in the new millennium. (indieWIRE/ 02.02.01) - ItвЂ™s only February, granted, but Wong Kar-waiвЂs вЂњ In the Mood for LoveвЂќ may very well turn out to be the best movie of 2001.

Taking cues from Australian cinematographer Christopher DoyleвЂ™s plush red imagery, Tony Leung and Maggie CheungвЂ™s iconic costumes and the steamy script where a brushed stroke can refract a thousand words, IN THE MOOD вЂ“ A LOVE LETTER TO WONG KAR-WAI & HONG KONG will preview new songs from Rainbow ChanвЂ™s forthcoming third album, original takes on the filmвЂ™s classic theme, and even a choreographed Bossa Nova dance that takes us back to a simpler time.EDITORвЂ™S NOTE: Every day for the next month, indieWIRE will be republishing profiles and interviews from the past ten years (in their original, retro format) with some of the people that have defined independent cinema in the first decade of this century. Conceived in an era where lockdown and loneliness has forced us to reconcile our beloved relationships and self-identities, Wong Kar-waiвЂ™s multi award-winning film is refracted onto the live stage a musical meditation on the restorative power of unadulterated desire.
