In the Mood for Love (2000)

Original title: Fa yeung nin wa

The movie takes place in Hong Kong, 1962. Chow Mo-Wan (Tony Leung), a journalist, rents a room in an apartment of a building on the same day as So Lai-zhen (Maggie Cheung), a secretary from a shipping company. They become next-door neighbours. Each has a spouse who is working and often leaves them alone on overtime shift. Despite the presence of a friendly Shanghainese landlady, Mrs Suen, and bustling, mahjong-playing neighbours, Chow and So often find themselves alone in their rooms, and they begin to strike up a friendship.

Tedious, I like a slow film, but as long as it has an interesting character you can care about, and a thought provoking story. This film has a collection of beautiful images, one after another for three hours. Yawn!
