Best Film of the Decade So Far
Wang Kar-Wei.s IN THE MOOD FOR LOVE, on of the best films ever about unrequited love, and Pedro Almodovar's TALK TO HER, which, among other things, deals with miscommunication in love. Frpm America, nothing independent, but tw0 floomily fatalistic films, ROAD TO PERDITION, and MYSTIC RIVER, so fatalistic that a friend watching it on television last night kept calling me to ask if what she thought was going to happen was really goint to happen.

I can't believe you think Mystic River was one of the best of the year. Or Road to Perdition.

Well, despite the intricately worded previous posting maybe its the production values of both of those movies (neither of those qualify for "films"..!); outstanding cinematography esp in the case of Road to Perdition; Mystic River captured some intense acting...I agree that neither of the two movies come anywhere near In the Mood for Love, which I happen to be renting tonight. Great story, beautifully shot, and oh so incredibly true.
Thanks fjor your response. I'd like to know what you thought of IN THE MOOD FORLOVE. I was at a party last night hosted by the film-savvy father of a man who lives in Beijing. He's alsoa big fan on MOOD (I hope you saw it on a large enough screen - it's hardly action driven). He pointed out that Xiabg Yumou 9HERO, FLYING DAGGERS) is regarded as having sold out.)
I think you made a mistake...you said Mystic River was the best film of the decade. I think you meant Cheesiest, Worst Produced Film of the Decade
