In The Mood For Love (2000)
Sexy, mature, sophisticated, but no love.
Summary:
I don't understand this film. There are indeed mature sexual tensions, flirting is sophisticated and their relationship is playful, but I felt no love between the two. The relationship is so subtle that it ends up feeling dull for me. I have never watched a more boring romance in my life. Did we watch a different version than everyone else with the wrong subtitles? Where is the passion? This isn't love, this is just life, and I don't want it. As a pure idealist romantic, I find these types of romances soul crushing and the mood is gone for me. But if you reminisce in the pains and longing of forbidden love, then this film will be right up your alley.
