Free Music Notes for In the Mood for Love (2000 Film)
Free Music Review: Music and movie perfectly matched
Hit: 5 Stars
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.
In the Mood for Love (2000 Film) Poster
Soundtracks are a mixed bag at best. Some are little more than an assortment of pieces, but others hang together effectively on their own, like this one. The idea of Chinese music--both popular and operatic--juxtaposed with the sounds of Nat King Cole performing Latin music might seem bizarre, but it works beautifully, sustaining a lush, romantic mood created both by the strings and the '40s Chinese music, itself a tinkling Hollywood pastiche. But as atmospheric as all this is, one track stands out above the others: "Blue," actually a version of the classic "St. James' Infirmary," takes on another dimension in Chinese hands. While familiar but completely alien at the same time, the slithering Asian sonorities mesh perfectly with the African-American form to create something evocative but with a sadness that goes beyond blues. The movie is of a time and place; the soundtrack is of a mood and yearning. Listen at night, with someone you love close by. --Chris NicksonSoundtracks Music CDs
