Fyi this is THE MAKING OF the movie, not the twitter account of Mr. Chow or Mrs. Chan
The documentary is filled with an EXCESSIVE amount of deleted scenes with absolutely NO correlation to the melancholic theatrical-cut we know and love.
Just imagine how many versions you can get from 15 months of shooting this movie.
Watching this will make you enlightened about the theme of Maturity in the film;
Which is how we got the final cut of the film in the first place.

Really should have altered the title in some way to clarify that this was a making-of feature, though I guess it was justifiable considering how much footage got reused. Still gotta love all the behind-the-scenes material and world tour promo at the end. Also Maggie Cheung, can't forget about her.

Very nice behind the scenes film, complements very well the interviews and press tour material I have all ready from my In The Mood Of Love extras DVD.

I think the fragments and the interviews aren't complementing each other all too well most of the time, but who says no to more Maggie Cheung and Tony Leung? (If you are the one to say no, I don't want to have anything to do with you, obviously.) Nevertheless, I always find it interesting to hear about how Wong Kar-wai and his actors work. Also that dancing scene is gold and them cooking together was fun too. Can't Wong Kar-wai just make a totally different version of all that lost footage and choose that lighter tone they were going for at first?

It's insane to witness how Kar-wai basically shot two different films while shooting In the Mood for Love, SO many deleted scenes with a completely different energy and mood that looks absolutely nothing like the feature film we've watched. We see how much Kar-wai keeps changing his works throughtout the whole process, and it's amazing!
-
So Kar-Wai really just shoots like four movies and just decides which version he likes best every time huh?
Half star for a thirty second clip of two of the hottest people ever to do it dancing
