In the mood for love by Hong Kong film maker Wong Kar-Wei won several prices, also for best film editing. (Editor: William Chay)

The story is about Mr. Chow and Mrs. Chan who live on the same floor in a crowded Hong Kong building. They often cross each others ways alone and after a while realize that their spouses have an affair.

The cinematographers: Christopher Doyle and Mark Lee Ping-Bin set their cameras as an interloper viewing his subjects on the sly. The cheating spouses are shown from behind, in shadow or via obscured view.
There is a lot of slow motion used in the movie, to underline the melancholy of the story.

I really like the soundtrack of this movie.
