Paul and Corey Cross the Streams: S5E4 [IN THE MOOD FOR LOVE (2000)]

In the Mood for Love (2000) - written, directed, and produced by Wong Kar-wai - takes a loving look back at his parents' generation: Shanghainese professionals who immigrated to Hong Kong following the Revolution. In 2022, In the Mood for Love placed 5th in Sight & Sound's "Greatest Films of All Time" critics' poll, and it's tough to argue with that. Gorgeous art direction, costuming, set design, cinematography...if you have the chance to see this on the big screen, do. With all that said, the film's non-linear storytelling can be a hurdle, and Paul and Corey talk about how and why the film feels more like an improvisation at times than a story. There's a lot to discuss!
