Probably my favourite film of the 21st century, period. An absolute classic and flawless in nearly every way.
Might be a good reason to finally watch my criterion copy I bought last year.
Still waiting for a reasonably priced region A Blu-ray of 2046.

You do not know how powerful an experience it was watching this my freshman year of college when I had the emotional depth of a puddle. My body hurt afterwards, knowing I'd been thrown into something far more adult and mournful than I could contextualize. I am gonna have to watch this again ASAP.
(Also this movie is a reminder that some of the sexiest movies are the ones where people aren't having sex! The movie drips with desire and tension.)

Soon to be a tetralogy! Filming of his next film, Blossoms, is currently set to begin in July.
This movie and its ending get to me every single time. I wish more film makers would embrace the fact that romance isn't always about two people being happy in the end. Sometimes the truest unspoken love is best left unspoken.
I think that's something that this and Portrait of a Lady on Fire both do very very well.
Have both this and Chungking Express on Blu Ray and eagerly awaiting a Region A 2046 blu ray as well.

Chungking Express is one of my favorite movies of all time but still I've never seen this one. Need to block out some time for it soon
I just watched this for the first (and second) time during the stay at home mess and it is a wonderful movie

On criterion channel definitely in my list to watch
Been watching a ton of Russian films on the channel (learning Russian as well)

If you're gonna steal, steal from the best.
Does anyone know which version of The Grandmaster I should seek out? My WKW watch is woefully incomplete
Yes, I'm excited for it.
This, I loved how it ended and generally tackled the whole theme.
The original "Chinese cut" is probably the best one, but I don't think any of them are great. Not wkw's best work.
In the Mood for Love changed my life.
I'm absolutely prepared for a lesser entry in his catalog, just know I'm not gonna be able to resist that conglomeration of talent for long.
Also this thread has guaranteed I'm going to be in my feelings all day thinking about this movie.

Saw it in the theater when it first came out while I was a junior in college. One of my favorite films of all time.
It's going to be on HBO Max when that goes live, just a heads up.
WHY.

I would say ignored in pop culture maybe, but its constantly revered in the film world.

Not sure if people are aware and its slightly off topic but the upcoming game Ghost of Tsushima is being composed by Shigeru Umebayashi. What little we've heard of the score so far has been fantastic and its one of the big reasons I'm personally looking forward to the game.
