Last night I watched In The Mood for Love (2000) for the first time, a 35mm print at The Prince Charles (classic). Couldn’t help but notice some parallels in both the theme and visuals with Umbrellas (1964) — fitting given the period of Hong Kong history Wong Kar-wai hones in on.

Study for a Portrait by Francis Bacon. A man is screaming, framed by a 3D shape and sat behind a curtain.
study for a portrait (1952): the curtain at the height of a greasy spoon window really works for me
