The Last night I was watching In the Mood for Love. Have you ever seen it?

Yeah, many times. Great film.

Yeah, it's incredible. And it's one of those movies that there are so many movies it seems that really open up for me in new and interesting ways as I get older, especially a movie like this that's so much about memory.

And it's hard to talk about this movie without just like descending into

banalities and cliches.

But it's a movie that seems to exist inside of a memory.

And I think it helps if you've lived a certain amount of time

to have had, you know, connections lost and found

and opportunities that appeared and disappeared

and things you didn't appreciate at the time just to just a pass by

Well beginning on a very sentimental note today I should what sounds like I should watch in the mood for love again

Beautiful film you know very controversial you know a universally agreed upon in the a week or two ago, there's a new traveling retrospective of Wancar Wies movies. Criterion's going to put

it out on a Blu-ray set and it's going to show at various theaters next year. and they've been restorations quote unquote.

But the thing is they're not actually restorations because Wancar Wai put out a note where

he was saying that actually in certain cases when restoring the films he realized

that he had the opportunity to alter them in such a way to better reflect his original vision

and he's going for it.

So really these are George Lucas versions of the movies.

Not as extreme as that, I'm sure. I don't think there's a scene where Tony Lung talks to

Jab of the Hut, but you know there are certain scenes that were in black and white at one point and are now in color and vice versa.

Like in, it's happy together, right, that has the black and white sections?

That one in Fallen Angels, yeah.
