These posts are a study on the phenomenal mise en scene in Kai Wai Wong's 2000 masterpiece Fa yeung nin wa (In The Mood For Love)
I can strongly urge you to watch the film if you haven't already. For, as much I am an advocate for film stills in this manner, they cannot convey the beauty and ambience of Osvaldo Farrés' stringed instrumental score. Nor can still images do justice to the hypnotically slow to perfection, slow motion scenes of filmic fake rain on cobblestones, chance meetings in dark stairways, bodies brushing past each other; barely touching, tiny hairs on end.
