花樣年華 (2000)

The story line of this movie is a blurred rhapsody of images depicting the lives of two couples living in adjacent apartments. Su-Lizhen and Chow Mo-wan find their spouses having a relationship, and under these painful circumstances they come closer. While they keep their relationship platonic, to prove that they are a bit different from their unfaithful lovers, there is an undercurrent of longing in both of them.
Written and Directed by Wang Kar Wai ; Language
Chinese ; Photographer Christopher Doyle ; This movie is the second one of an informal trilogy - the other two being Days Of Being Wild (1991) and 2046 (2004). It's good to watch only if you are actually bored with other works.

In the mood for love isn’t a cinema, but poetry- soothing, slow and peaceful. This is one sad story of love, life, and loneliness. What makes this movie special is perhaps its universality. You be in New York or Kerala or South Africa, you can perhaps relate to this movie. The story speaks about two neighbors living in the same building who comes to realize their respective spouses are having an affair. They start to develop a love for each other too, in the most subtle way possible. A romance that is borne out of shared betrayal. The Cinematography is spectacular, filled with a mood for love.

One of the best love story i have ever seen.
