Maggie Cheung as Su Li-Zhen/Mrs. Chan in In the Mood For Love | ph. Wing Shya (2000)

“Li-zhen’s beautiful cheongsams express her predicament, as she is torn between old and new. In harmony with the set designs, the stylised flowers that adorn many of her dresses evoke the changing seasons and the transitory nature of life, drawing on traditional Chinese cultural themes. More than half the patterns are abstract, denoting a contemporary Western style that is also evident in her beehive hair-do, and her expensive jewelry, handbags and shoes. The cheongsams encapsulate [the] opposing forces of tradition and modernity, revealing a femininity at once sexualised and constricted.” — Pam Cook, Screening the Past : Memory and Nostalgia in Cinema.

Because I occasionally feature movie titles, Pinterest keeps recommending them to me. Yesterday’s bunch though was particularly good—I more or less picked these left and right until I had 10 of them.
