From an audiovisual point of view, cinema is a treat. Perfect. Here is a certain technically unique moment: a cut-off pattern, where fantasies are separated from reality. This is Won Kar-Wai's very clever move. As professionals and critics write, here the same method as in "Love Mood" - "frame within the frame."
From a psychological point of view, the film is not only about finding yourself and your love, but from the point of view of those who carefully read the energy of symbols, it will understand that this means the “final” year of free Hong Kong.
Critics also say that here, for example, the musical theme from the European film “Merry Sunday” by Francois Truffaut (1983).
“You know what people used to do when they didn’t want to share their secrets? They climbed the mountain, found a tree, made a hollow in it and whispered their secret hollow. And then they covered the hollow with clay so that no one would know their secret.
Very bright, sensitive movie. With an understatement. With a beautiful edging.
“I walked in the darkness of a rainy night
And in the old house, by the window,
Recognised brooding eyes
My longing. - In tears, alone.
She looked at the distance damp. .
I admired endlessly.
Like old youth.
I recognized her face.
She took a look. My heart shrunk.
The fire went out and dawned.
Raw morning knocked.
Into Her Forgotten Glass. – A.A. Blok, March 15, 1900
I highly recommend it. Very interesting film. 👩🦰
