Alejandro G. Iñárritu visited the Cannes Film Festival for the first time in 2000 for the premiere of his film, "Amores Perros" (2000). One day during the festival, Iñárritu and many other directors were invited for a 7 PM screening of Wong Kar-wai's "In the Mood for Love" (2000).
Iñárritu and his wife Maria booked a taxi at 6:15 PM. But the taxis were overbooked. So Iñárritu, wearing a tuxedo & his wife, wearing a long dress with high heels had no other choice but to run to reach the theater on time, while the temperature was 95°F. The traffic was heavy. While running, Iñárritu took off his jacket, tie & the first 3 buttons of his shirt. His wife took off her shoes.
Their effort wasn't in vain as they reached the theater at 7:01 PM. They were drenched in sweat. But they both had experience of their lives when they watched the movie.
Here is what Iñárritu said of "In the Mood for Love" (2000):
"For a filmmaker, the experience of entering that legendary [Palais Des Festivals] with 2,000 seats is similar to that of a Catholic boy going into the Vatican. [From] all the way in the back, we watched “In the Mood for Love” on a screen 40 times bigger than us.
Maria and I walked in complete silence for almost 10 minutes [afterward]. We suddenly stopped by the sea. Maria hugged me and started crying inconsolably on my shoulder. And I did the same on hers. “In the Mood for Love” had left us speechless and deeply moved. It was that moment that reminded me why, even when it’s so stupidly difficult sometimes, I wanted to become a filmmaker."

P.S: On this day, 26 years ago, "In the Mood for Love" (2000) premiered at the Cannes Film Festival, France.

"I may not always love you
But long as there are stars above you
You never need to doubt it
I'll make you so sure about it
God only knows what I'd be without you"
60 years of The Beach Boys 'Pet Sounds'. Still just as seminal.
20 years of Burial's S/T debut. The sound of late-night London.
A foundational album for UK bass music, redefining the scope for the power of dark, atmospheric textures within electronic music. Still sounds just as modern as it did two decades ago.
Quentin Tarantino says “I don’t think I’ll ever hear ‘California Dreamin’ again without seeing Faye Wong dance.’”
Chungking Express (1994), directed by Wong Kar-wai, follows 2 lonely cops in 1990s Hong Kong.
A neon romance where pop songs and small moments hit hard.
Una de mis escenas favoritas de #Hamnet.
La banda sonora es magistral, la interpretación de Paul Mescal es de estudio, debería estar nominado al #Oscar. El plano secuencia y la dirección de Chloé Zhao es SUBLIME.
Una obra maestra eterna que deja huella.♥️
Paul Dano no tuvo que fingir terror en el final de "Petróleo sangriento" (2007). Daniel Day-Lewis le lanzaba bolas de boliche de verdad con toda su fuerza. Dano admitió que temía por su seguridad mientras la pesada utilería rebotaba a su alrededor.
