Some are little more than an assortment of pieces, but others hang together effectively on their own, like this one. The idea of Chinese music--both popular and operatic--juxtaposed with the sounds of Nat King Cole performing Latin music might seem bizarre, but it works beautifully, sustaining a lush, romantic mood created both by the strings and the '40s Chinese music, itself a tinkling Hollywood pastiche. But as atmospheric as all this is, one track stands out above the others: "Blue," actually a version of the classic "St. James' Infirmary," takes on another dimension in Chinese hands. While familiar but completely alien at the same time, the slithering Asian sonorities mesh perfectly with the African-American form to create something evocative but with a sadness that goes beyond blues. The movie is of a time and place; the soundtrack is of a mood and yearning. Listen at night, with someone you love close by. --Chris Nickson ## Images ![In the Mood for Love - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61LAbLtzTfL.jpg) ![In the Mood for Love - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/717hVmJZ5rL.jpg) ![In the Mood for Love - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41aB8it+RwL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Great Super-Romantic Film; Even Better Soundtrack *by T***. on November 12, 2001* This is the first truly great Wong Kar-Wai film, in that he doesn't need a gun or martial arts or even sex to express himself magnificently. This is his stab into Antonioni territory by way of Scorsese-Taxi-Driver era slow-mo editing. The Romanticism isn't some bizarre subjective comic-book romanticism like in Chung-King Express or Fallen Angels, but something deeply painful and alienated and constratined by tradition, directly from the real world, again harking back to classic Antonioni films like "Red Desert." Wong doesn't really take us into the individuation of his characters too much, but then Wong has some way to go before he can say as much with his 'restraint' as Antonioni did with his.The Soundtrack is 40 minutes of the most incredibly varied, sublimely beautiful music, MOST OF WHICH IS BARELY HEARD IN THE FILM. That's why If you think that by buying the DVD you'll get the soundtrack too, you're wrong. There's plenty more here. The 3 legendary Nat King Cole (in Spanish) tracks (many more unbelievable tracks are available on the original 16 Exitos on Capitol), the beautiful East-meets-West classical "Yumeji's Theme" by Umebayashi Shigeru (originally used in a Seijun Suzuki film called "Yumeji" barely see in the West), and the other magnificent east-meets-west classical pieces by Micheal Galasso are just the beginning; in between are sandwiced sublimely bizarre and beautiful rare Chinese pop & ethnic tracks that no one in the west has ever heard! This is the best soundtrack I've heard since "Apocalypse Now," and "Rumble Fish." Get it today! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ On of my favorite movies. My favorite romantic movie *by L***O on November 14, 2014* On of my favorite movies. My favorite romantic movie. If you are into films, read about how the music was selected and made, how the early sixties were very important times for Hong Kong and how the emigrants form Shanghai China running from the the communist after 1949 came to Hong Kong and had to crowd into the housing available and made for a thriving middle class. These are the characters depicted in this movie and the reason they seem so westernized. Shanghai was a very cosmopolitan city with many European communities and where a chines Hollywood like movie and musical industry existed right up until WW II started. Hong Kong became what it is now because of the influx of main China middle and upper class exiles and the free enterprise allowed by the British government. Freedom, imported intellect and plenty of available labor made Hong Kong what it became in the last 50 years. You can see glimpse of what it must been like as the backdrop of this love story. Very clever and very well made. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Music and movie perfectly matched *by L***E on December 21, 2007* All the passion, longing, and intensity of the film are supremely evoked by this soundtrack, particularly the two main themes, 'Yumeji' by Shigeru Umebayashi and 'Angkor Wat' by Michael Galasso. The cello solo in the latter will make you swoon.The power of the film lies precisely in the fact that so much is NOT shown. Emotions are repressed. Touch is glancing. Yet desire practically oozes off the screen. It is Wong Kar-wai's directorial reticence that creates this palpability, a lesson American directors might learn from if they stopped blasting audiences with heavy breathing and boinking long enough to pay attention. (Yes, I know, Hitchcock understood the power of understatement, but he's obviously long since gone.)Anyway, if you don't feel heat from this music, then honey, it's time to get your temperature checked. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.dk/products/25843243-in-the-mood-for-love](https://www.desertcart.dk/products/25843243-in-the-mood-for-love) --- *Product available on Desertcart Denmark* *Store origin: DK* *Last updated: 2026-04-26*
