In the Mood for Love
(2000)

This movie feels like watching two people hold back everything they want to say. Every glance is heavy; every slow-motion shot lingers a little too long. The cheongsams, the dimly lit hallways, the rain-soaked streets—everything looks too perfect, like they are trapped in a dream. The scene where Chow and Su share a cigarette in a cramped alleyway says everything without words. They are close but never close enough.
