Great Moments In Movie Staches

If you've looked at social media in the past two days you've no doubt seen everybody listing their "Top 10 movies since 2000" lists thanks to a feature in The New York Times making the rounds -- I'm not doing that! I'm not breaking my brain with that list right now. So don't get your hopes up. (Or the opposite I suppose since I don't know how you personally feel about my opinions!) What I am pointing out though is that I think a full 75% of the lists I've seen have had Wong Kar-wai's 2001 masterpiece In the Mood For Love listed on them, which is just and good and correct. And it reminded me that this movie is getting a theatrical re-release for its 25th anniversary! At least in NYC (on June 27th) and LA (on July 4th) but you can click here to check for other locations and times. And they'll also be screening alongside it the hard-to-see short film In the Mood For Love 2001! That one also stars most-beautiful-people Tony Leung and Maggie Cheung, just in different roles -- apparently WKW had intended to do a entire trilogy of ITMFL films but didn't (unless you count the bits in his movie 2046 anyway). You can watch the trailer for both the main film + this short at this link, but as you can see here Tony Leung has a mustache and wears a pink shirt so your eyes might melt outta your head from the hotness. You've been warned!
