Cinematic DNA
I've always been interested in love stories, especially love stories that take place between three people. In fact, 'In the Mood for Love' was originally conceived as a film about three people. It was called 'A Story of Two,' and then it became 'In the Mood for Love.' It was almost a 'Jules and Jim' kind of story.
