Love is a matter of timing.
Only for those who have lived long enough. I prefer *In the Mood for Love*, but this one closes the story, and in that way, it has its own charm.
Poetic, more fragmented than his previous works. The fact that each character speaks in their own language (Japanese, Cantonese and Mandarin) and you get used to it as something normal is fantastic. As well as the acting.
You can see many things here that you find again in *Blossoms Shanghai*, even clearer than in *In the Mood for Love.* No surprise I loved the series, WKW did an amazing job evolving to that format and to the present day while keeping his signature and classic themes.
And on a final note, Wong Kar-wai's influence on Bi Gan, particularly in *Long Day's Journey into Night (2018),* is evident yet the latter brings his own personality. Of course I was going to like his portfolio too - perhaps even a bit more.
