To me, one of the best cinematography in a movie ever made is Wong Kar Wai’s In The Mood For Love (2000). Somehow, with a minimum dialog and narration, it can transferred the actor’s feeling of emptiness, loneliness, temptation and desire. The tone of the movie is mysterious but a little bit taboo, since it’s an affair between two married people. The colors are black, yellow and red, sometimes a little pale. I think the color also informed us the emotional range of the actors.
It’s a brilliant movie when it comes to visuals and also storytelling, without making it like a cheap affair. Let’s check the fine visuals of In The Mood For Love (2000) (if there’s a wrong order of visuals, I apologies since I watched it a little while ago) :
