Episode #412: 'In the Mood for Love' with John Powers

Wong Kar-Wai's In the Mood For Love (which some are calling the fifth best movie ever made, or at least the fourth best this century?) was released 25 years ago, and anniversary screenings of a new 4k restoration have been happening all over. We've got critic John Powers (Fresh Air, Vogue), author of WKW: The Cinema of Wong Kar-Wai with us to help us take an inside look at a movie that continues to enchant and haunt audiences through the decades.What’s GoodAlonso - Boorman and the Devil to premiere at Venice (and Selena Gomez Oreos)Drea - pomodoro method (for Spirit Awards spreadsheet mode)John - Chris Marker: Immemory Gutenberg VersionKevin - ComiCon 2025ITIDICChristopher Nolan’s ‘Odyssey’ Sells Out in IMAX a Year Ahead of ReleaseNeon Promoting ‘Together’ With a “Free Vegas Wedding” ContestPee-Wee’s Red Bike Acquired by the AlamoStaff PicksAlonso - We All Loved Each Other So MuchDrea - Familiar TouchJohn - CloudKevin - Dancer in the Dark Help support this show and unlock bonus content!
