*LOVELY HEADPHONE WARNINGS*

Jason N commissioned a GREAT movie for the channel and one that is the DEFINITION of "YEARNING." This classic from 2000 shows two individuals and the forbidden feelings emerging from the worst of circumstances -- quite the film whose style and content will have you chatting about long past you watch it.

Thanks for the commission, Jason N! This was a fantastic watch!

Oh wow, unexpected! This is one of my favorite movies by one of my favorite directors (Wong Kar-wai has lots of incredible stuff.) It really merits rewatching because the fractured dreamlike storytelling has a lots of details that are easy to miss the first time through. Wong Kar-wai is an incredibly visual director who famously makes movies more or less improvisationally without a real script and then edits things together into coherence. This movie was shooting for 15 months off and on which is insane. Also, you are right about the Lost in Translation comparison. It is arguably a loose adaptation of this film. Sophia Coppola gave the film props by name at the Oscar's when she got the screenplay award.

Oh wow, I remember watching this movie for a world cinema class in college. I believe this film classifies as a wenyi pian (literally literature/art film). This film is a postmodern version of the classic Chinese melodrama. The films calls back to classic themes such as 'fahu qing, zhihu li' which is roughly translated as 'begin with emotion, end in humility'. In other words, desire bounds my ethics. What a call-back to my student days, haha.

Loved the reaction and discussion! What a classic! So lovely to revisit as I hadn’t seen this for many years. 🥰 Various things I loved: I love the rice cooker scene, agreed it is one of the best possible investments 😆 The way everything is framed in such a unique way! “I thought it would improve my luck.” Ok, Ping. 🤣 The cursed slippers! I personally hate slippers and never use any, this is just one more reason now! 🤣 The absolute and complete confidence of the OST! Having essentially just the one beautiful track to take us through the film was an amazing decision. I really adore Lizhen, she is just such an amazing character and what a stunning performance! 🥰 She was so elegant and precise in absolutely everything: her fashion, her mannerisms, her speech and approach to things. And she comes across like she’d be a true ally! In the scene where she hints about the tie, I absolutely see her doing something like this even if there hadn’t been any other connection in their circumstances. The kind of woman who would protect in a way that is entirely (and plausibly) deniable for both parties, and is balanced perfectly for the other person to decide whether they wish to act on the hint or ignore it. I also really love the use of patterns everywhere: the fabrics and clothing, the wall panels, all the steps and architecture, even the wear and tear on the various surfaces. Absolutely every surface is so purposefully used and chosen, it is a joy to look at! Themes of resistance? I’d argue this film is in its entirety about resistance! 😆 Resistance: to attraction and yearning, against becoming like the other people who hurt them, against admitting what they feel, again acting selfishly, against the view that the actions of other people are permission, against societal expectations. It is painful to watch them resist the better possibilities around them, as much as they admirably resist the temptation to act impulsively. Good people struggling to stay good. 🥹 Thank you to Jason N for another amazing commission! 🥰 Looking forward to the next entry! 💙

This movie was SO cinematic and lovely to watch! The framing, the use of mirrors and reflections, the smoke – and yes, this movie made me want a whole bowl of rice INSTANTLY. To be honest, I don’t wear slippers either, haha!! The struggle was real. Honestly, the OST is so gorgeous, I don’t blame them for reusing that track throughout the movie’s entirety. Lizhen did have a stunning, precise (a great word for it) performance in this and I wanted all of her clothing. She definitely would be someone that I’d want to have in my corner. And yes, the patterns were so intentional but gorgeous to see on screen and follow! YESSSS, this film is ALL resistance! So much yearning and attraction, so much avoiding becoming like others or acting selfishly or trying to resist the way society puts pressure upon them as well - you worded it so well, here! Yes, “good people struggling to stay good.” Ugh, my heart! Yes, Jason N had a GREAT commission for this month! Thank you for the comment!

I could ABSOLUTELY see this film being shown in a cinema class! That is so cool about the translation of what the film is referencing in Chinese melodramas and that note of "desire bound by ethics" fits this movie to a "t" -- I could totally see my colleague who teaches Film Appreciation showing this to students. Thank you so much for the info and the comment!

Jason N delivered on the unexpected for sure with this commission! It's such a good movie and yesss - I probably need to re-watch this film to see all the details a second time and catch things that I might have missed. The idea of putting together a film through improv that still has coherence is WILD but if that was the case with this, he more or less pulled it off with flying colors! I can ABSOLUTELY see the reference in Lost in Translation and I'm glad that Sophia Coppola gave the film its flowers for inspiration - it definitely deserves it. Thank you so much for the comment! This was a definite treat!
