This clip came with the criterion collection and I watched it thinking it would be a deleted scene from the film ‘In the Mood for Love’, but boy was I wrong.

This 3 minute clip felt super Lynchian for someone like Wong Kar Wai. The assortments of various non-linear clips gave me a nightmarish vibe, but at the same time it looks aesthetically-pleasing.

A love letter to old chinese film. Wong Kar-Wai creates what today would be a tiktok edit and it is a great watch seeing all the different actresses in this. It's even better to here that this footage was considered lost before they were found in the 90s
