Screening "In the mood for love" Director Wong Kar Wai Distributed: 2000
Music - Chilled and Relaxing (musical instruments)
The music played a massive part towards this film, the way that the track was repeated over and over gave a sense that the two lonely actors were falling in love or meeting up with each other throughout the piece.
Cinematography (variety of camera angles, fast paced edit)
I loved the cinematography through the whole of this film, the editing pace and shots were really quick, I wouldn't say that there were really any establishing shots which gave the film a different narrative structure compared to the other films that we have watched, in fact at times I found it hard to follow what was going on. The colour palette was bright, vibrant, the colours consisted of a mixture for light and dark colours, again the mood for the film was re-enhanced through the choice of music tracks which helped bring the visuals to life.
Narrative structure
The narrative I found to be challenging at the start but further towards the films ending I feel like we got a sense for the character development, their lifestyles, the way that they found comfort in one another while there partners were away on business trips. I found some of the dialogue to be very repetitive, perhaps that was to do with the style of the filmmakers films. I still wonder whether or not that the two main actors even had other partners as we never saw them, only short clips of dialogue which was followed up with 10-20 sec clips of the actors on the dial up phones.
