       | Transforms ?

       | Fun fact I discovered recently is that Lost in Translation was
       | heavily influenced by In The Mood For Love.

         | If not the whole thing there are definitely aspects of Lost in
         | Translation that connect if you've ever been in the situation
         | where someone was translating you.

       | If you enjoy In the Mood for Love, I would highly suggest
       | watching the rest of his movies. Every single one is a
       | masterpiece. Maybe start with Chungking Express for a more upbeat
       | and fun movie.

         | movie.

       | It's good that this classic has been resurfaced by its stylistic
       | cameo in "Everything Everywhere All at Once" -- a movie which has
       | a lot to admire, but tries so extremely hard to be clever and
       | likable that it just fell completely flat for me.
       | 
       | I watched it twice, and both times I just found myself wishing I
       | was watching "In the Mood for Love" instead when the multiverse
       | kaleidoscope spun that way.

       | The first part was certainly pretty. The rest, I'm not sure. I
       | found it quite boring.

       | Jia Zhangke (mentioned in the article as being influenced)
       | directed a similar film with incredible cinematography:
