This is his stab into Antonioni territory by way of Scorsese-Taxi-Driver era slow-mo editing. The Romanticism isn't some bizarre subjective comic-book romanticism like in Chung-King Express or Fallen Angels, but something deeply painful and alienated and constratined by tradition, directly from the real world, again harking back to classic Antonioni films like "Red Desert." Wong doesn't really take us into the individuation of his characters too much, but then Wong has some way to go before he can say as much with his 'restraint' as Antonioni did with his. The Soundtrack is 40 minutes of the most incredibly varied, sublimely beautiful music, MOST OF WHICH IS BARELY HEARD IN THE FILM. That's why If you think that by buying the DVD you'll get the soundtrack too, you're wrong. There's plenty more here. The 3 legendary Nat King Cole (in Spanish) tracks (many more unbelievable tracks are available on the original 16 Exitos on Capitol), the beautiful East-meets-West classical "Yumeji's Theme" by Umebayashi Shigeru (originally used in a Seijun Suzuki film called "Yumeji" barely see in the West), and the other magnificent east-meets-west classical pieces by Micheal Galasso are just the beginning; in between are sandwiced sublimely bizarre and beautiful rare Chinese pop & ethnic tracks that no one in the west has ever heard! This is the best soundtrack I've heard since "Apocalypse Now," and "Rumble Fish." Get it today! Review: Lush and beautiful soundtrack for an excellent film! - This soundtrack is no longer easy to find, both in quantity AND- most definitely- in QUALITY. The music on this CD is rare and pleasant enough that those who have seen the film will the scenes from the film along with them. I loved the Spanish-language songs by Nat King Cole for the fact that they are not often heard at all. The Chinese songs on this album also do an excellent job of capturing the period this film is set in. Anybody who has seen the film will not find a fault with this CD. 'In the Mood for Love' is a most welcome addition to my CD collection after a very long period of going without it. ## Images ![In the Mood for Love - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61LAbLtzTfL.jpg) ![In the Mood for Love - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/717hVmJZ5rL.jpg) ![In the Mood for Love - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41aB8it+RwL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Great Super-Romantic Film; Even Better Soundtrack *by T***. on November 12, 2001* This is the first truly great Wong Kar-Wai film, in that he doesn't need a gun or martial arts or even sex to express himself magnificently. This is his stab into Antonioni territory by way of Scorsese-Taxi-Driver era slow-mo editing. The Romanticism isn't some bizarre subjective comic-book romanticism like in Chung-King Express or Fallen Angels, but something deeply painful and alienated and constratined by tradition, directly from the real world, again harking back to classic Antonioni films like "Red Desert."

The music on this CD is rare and pleasant enough that those who have seen the film will the scenes from the film along with them. I loved the Spanish-language songs by Nat King Cole for the fact that they are not often heard at all. The Chinese songs on this album also do an excellent job of capturing the period this film is set in. Anybody who has seen the film will not find a fault with this CD. 'In the Mood for Love' is a most welcome addition to my CD collection after a very long period of going without it. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Music and movie perfectly matched *by L***E on December 21, 2007* All the passion, longing, and intensity of the film are supremely evoked by this soundtrack, particularly the two main themes, 'Yumeji' by Shigeru Umebayashi and 'Angkor Wat' by Michael Galasso. The cello solo in the latter will make you swoon. The power of the film lies precisely in the fact that so much is NOT shown. Emotions are repressed. Touch is glancing. Yet desire practically oozes off the screen. It is Wong Kar-wai's directorial reticence that creates this palpability, a lesson American directors might learn from if they stopped blasting audiences with heavy breathing and boinking long enough to pay attention. (Yes, I know, Hitchcock understood the power of understatement, but he's obviously long since gone.) Anyway, if you don't feel heat from this music, then honey, it's time to get your temperature checked. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ph/products/25843243-in-the-mood-for-love](https://www.desertcart.ph/products/25843243-in-the-mood-for-love) --- *Product available on Desertcart Philippines* *Store origin: PH* *Last updated: 2026-05-27*
