Mes toujours aimés

The narrow hallway. Stingy hotel rooms. A ravishing courtesan, Hua, waits for her clients. Zhang, an apprentice tailor, is enthralled by her, who's one of his master's clients. At their first meeting, she immediately casts her spell on him, bewitching him completely, proffering him the grace of her hand, fondling with the Man still asleep inside him. The reason for her charity: Zhang is a talented tailor who has yet to know a woman's touch. If he's going to be servicing women with his skills, he should think always of this hand while making cloths for them. The years pass, Hua's clients change, from a gorgeous courtesan she becomes a street prostitute, falls sick, and all the while Zhang longs for Hua's touch once more. When he has time, he makes her clothes. His longing is embedded into threads and shades and cuts and perles and embroideries of the dresses he makes for her.

"Hand" of Wong Kar-Wai puts me "In the mood for love"... the same rain, footpath, yellow street-lamp, dingy narrow hallway of the infamous hotel, Gong Li and Chang Chen, the longing for love....

Exellent and unique camera work, as usual : any film is based on the principle of a moving camera, "movies"... Wong Kar-Wai doesn't move the camera, it stays "still", and people come in the frame of the camera as in an identity photo; angle changes, a little bit, but the frame stays the same... creating the perfect effect of old photos in a frame, capturing the passing Time...

"Hand" is one of the three short films compiled together under the theme/title "Eros". Other two films r of Antonioni and of Soderberg.

NO, not tonight i feel like talking about them.... Just this melancholy, a nagging music under a nagging rain, an untold lovestory in an infamous hotel room with an infamous courtesan...
