Watched Kar-Wai Wong's In The Mood For Love for the first time @criterionchannl. What a masterpiece!

Watching Kar-Wai Wong's In The Mood For Love, we thought of Kubrick (2001, Eyes Wide Shut), Neil Jordan's The End of the Affair, Scorsese's The Age of Innocence, David Lean's Brief Encounter, Godard, Truffaut, Antonioni. I felt like I was in the middle of a Henry James novel.
The French poster for the 20th anniversary restoration of Kar-Wai Wong's In The Mood For Love by @studiotstella is perfection.
I was very much taken by Kar-Wai Wong's use of three Nat King Cole songs from his late 1950s Latin American recordings with Nelson Riddle. "Te Quiero Dijiste" & "Aquellos Ojos Verdes" are from Cole Español, released in 1958.
I was unable to track down who took the cover photo of Nat King Cole for the album Cole Español, which is a shame, since Cole is himself sporting a camera. Is this in Peru, or perhaps Bolivia?
I love this shot of Director Kar Wai-Wong & Maggie Cheung, who stars as Su Li-zhen in his film In The Mood For Love.
