Since I think we may have similar tastes: Princess Mononoke (or other Studio Ghibli, this one’s just my favorite/most profound imo) Under the Silver Lake (for the beau is afraid lovers) Chungking Express (I’m still thinking about it) Her (one of my personal favorites and every year it gets progressively more realistic) HM:
We Live in Time (b2b Andrew Garfield recs okayyy also this is the fault in our stars for adults)
Wong Kar-wai is a Hong Kong filmmaker and most of his movies are beautiful romances. He makes movies about flashing city lights and Cantonese people smoking cigarettes and somehow makes you feel like romance is the only thing in the whole world. My favorite of his is Chungking Express (1994) about two policemen in Hong Kong with parallel romances: one with a mysterious criminal, the other with a mysterious waitress. Another great one, and his most widely acclaimed film, is In The Mood For Love (2000) about two neighbors in 1960s Hong Kong who suspect that their spouses are cheating on them with each other’s spouse, so they set out to explore how this romance could’ve began, and come to fall in love themselves. Another one that is more dark and seedy is Fallen Angels (1995) where a hitman tries to escape his career and navigate his relationship with his underworld employer who is secretly in love with him.
instead of doing it under the influence we should start saying it casually on the daily on a random weekday afternoon… this is the way please believe me!
possibly one of the cooler and chic- er things i own… i love the look of it sooo much, it makes the cds in my collection a piece of art in itself, proudly displayed when it’s not spinning !
