Free Music Review: Unique East-meet-West scores, beautiful in a despairing way
Hit: 4 Stars
The soundtrack is not only magnificient but significant, in the way it suggests the mood and aides in the story-telling. The film itself de-emphasizes almost all externalities including any supporting actors and actresses. Instead the music scores and the lush palette of colors take the important role of telling the stroy, suggesting the possible coming. Not too lengthy for a soundtrack, but the 40 minutes of music fill with a sense of blues, despair, nostalgia, and exoticism. The soundtrack begins with Yumeji's Theme, as a reviewer has previously noted, this piece written by Umebayashi Shigeru was originally used in a Seijun Suzuki film called "Yumeji" barely seen outside of Asia. What makes this soundtrack unique is the audacious juxtaposition of '40s Chinese music with Nat King Cole's portugaese legendaries. Zhou Xuan's "Ha yang de nien hua" brings back memories of the legendary diva who dominated the Shanghai music scenes more than 80 years ago. The piece tags perfectly into the mixed feelings of the characters: fidelity and decency will not allow them to have an affai no matter how intimate their bond has been. Nat King Cole's Quizás, Quizás, Quizás [Perhaps, Perhaps, Perhaps] is my favorite and it fits perfectly into the yearning mood of the film. "Perhaps he works late just like he tells me." "Perhaps she forgets to call me." "Perhaps we can have an affair" "Perhaps..." The soundtrack closes out with yet another beautifully done piece--Angkor Wat Theme Finale. At first I thought the movie DVD will be sufficient to capture all the scores and music pieces and yet I was mistaken. Only "Quizás, Quizás, Quizás" could be heard in full length in movie while almost all the other pieces were cut short and faded out. The tiptoeing movie theme "In the Mood for Love" is available in three cuts. If you like the music from the movie, you have to get this soundtrack. The movie experience will never be complete without the soundtrack. 4.3 stars.Free Music Review: The "mood" is the thing
Hit: 4 Stars
Sound and Music play vital roles in all Wong's movies. "In the mood for love" is no excpetion. I bought this Sound Track before I got to see the movie... i did this for "Happy Together" as well, since I want to prepare myself prior to viewing the pictures and be familarise with the "mood" of the movie. This soundtrack is full of memories of the 60s. The Chinese Opera music is not easy to listen to but that is the mood of that era in that very specific context. From the music you can have a glimpse of how a great director works with his media. For me I really love Nat King Cole's Tango Music. Nostalgic, and music constructs so well that mood of love.If you think this sound track is good, perhaps you shall also listen to the "Happy Together" OST. This is a good buy, and that one's a must buy.
Free Music Review: Soulful Longing
Hit: 4 Stars
The music in this soundtrack is so fitting for the pace of this beautiful but sad love story told to us at a slow easy going pace. My favorite tract being Yumeji's Theme evokes deep emotions from within. Each time it plays in the movie there is no need for words as every glance, motion and thoughts are made known though left unsaid. In a time when movies only include the latest pop music for the sake of profit making this soundtrack rises above all as one which is fitting for the story it unfolds.
