Perhaps, Perhaps, Perhaps





I know this is starting to appear obligatory but how can anyone not fall in love with a masterpiece like this.
Vaguely, I remember watching the Golden Horse Awards show the year the leads from In The Mood For Love were hailed king and queen. My memory of the film prior to today is made up of the comment that was made about Maggie Cheung - "...which woman can look so good in a qipao..." If not for the political instability then, I really wouldn't mind being a young woman living in the 60s. Call it optical illusion or whatever, everything about the lives of the olden days enraptures me. The dim orange street lights, courtship formalities, cramped, cosy houses and fashion trends (naturally!) are so wonderfully fascinating.
Maggie Cheung is indeed phenomenally beautiful in cheongsams.
