introduced by choreographer Catherine Galasso ’06 on Feb 8
A visually ravishing film about two neighbors (Cheung and Leung, Best Actor at Cannes 2000) who learn of their spouses' affair and wrestle with their own desire for each other. Romantic melancholy in 1960s Hong Kong is stunningly evoked by period interiors, knockout wardrobes, and heart-wrenching tension between lovers. Cigarette smoking doesn't get sexier.
Catherine Galasso ’06 speaks about her late father Michael Galasso's film music (composer for In The Mood for Love) and her use of it in the Feb 10 performance of Bring on the Lumière!, taking place at the Schwartz Center
