Dream Lovers is the first film I have ever seen that uses a specific color palette: terra-cotta, orange, teal, red and black. This combination of colors is so ravishing that it takes my breath away. Two other films come close-Black Narcissus and Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.
The story itself is complex and mysterious. A man and a woman, both professionals each "see" each other in dreams, mirrors, in an apartment, and a busy street, and finally, in person. They feel strangely connected. The way their story plays out involves the young man's girl-friend of 8 years and the young woman's father and his friend. There is also the young girl's grandmother who happens to be a witch.
The intense love story and the tragedy that follows is classic Greek in its depth and consequence. A gorgeous film that will shatter the viewer.
Chow Yun-Fat is at his most handsome in this film and the two women with whom he interacts are both beautiful. The acting is of the highest level. The direction marvelous especially in the cutting of this film and the way the mystery is revealed.
I can't recommend this splendid love/mystery story highly enough. It is one of my most favorite films.
