Various Artists – In the Mood for Love: Original Soundtrack (LP Vinyl)
Product Details
Wong Kar-wai's 2000 film stands as one of the most visually and sonically deliberate works in world cinema, and its soundtrack is inseparable from that reputation. The recurring musical motifs function almost like characters themselves, returning with each slow-motion corridor walk to deepen the tension between longing and restraint. For collectors who care about film music as seriously as any studio record, this pressing is the document.
Relive the golden 60s when Chow Mo-wan (played by Tony Leung) encountered So Lai-chun (played by Maggie Cheung) and began their enticing love affair in In the Mood For Love. A selection of Chinese opera titles, mandarin classics, jazz favorites by Nat King Cole and the characters' live-recorded scripts sonically constructed a picture of love and lust in this film, which is considered to be one of Wong Kar-wai's best work to-date. One must not miss the haunting "Yumeji's Theme" by Japanese composer Shigeru Umebayashi and the "Angkor Wat Themes" by Michael Galasso that has brought this film to it's perfection.
