Amor à Flor da Pele (2000)

2046 is the sequel of In the Mood for Love. Both explore love and loss, and change of feelings overtime. You don't really need to watch in chronological order as each can be viewed as a separate.

2046 is loose sequel of 'In the Mood for Love'. Both are from same director and have same lead actor. Both have beautiful music and many more similarities.

A man and a woman are brought together because of their spouses' indiscretions.

Slow burn art films. Creates romance not out of overt displays of affection but rather through implication and omission.

If you have seen both movies, you’ll understand. The main characters find out that their respective significant others are in an entanglement. Proceeding the news, both MCs talk about their SOs and perform a lot of charades. The romance is subtle, thoughtful, innocent, and fresh.

Both are critically acclaimed romance films directed by Wong Kar Wai. Tony Leung plays a main character in both too.

Both movies share the same intensity and atmosphere. Two loners are brought together by something they share in common, but it's the same thing that could easily break them apart. I wouldn't be surprised if Wong Kar Wai took inspiration from Midaregumo.

I recommend this both drama because , Male lead and Female lead
try to solve problem
In one drama explosion and another student murder/suicide

The song "Yumeji's Theme" by Shigeru Umebayashi that's featured predominantly in "In the Mood for Love" plays at one point in "Lock Me Up, Tie Him Down". Main leads find solace in each despite one of them being married.

The quiet atmosphere and intense emotions of star-crossed lovers who never should have fallen for each other, although in the end they make entirely different choices.

Beautiful, sensual movies directed by Wong Kar Wai. Both take place in the 1960s, unfullfilled romance. The covers are also similar.
