Customer Rating: Summary: Amazing Soundtrack...And More! Comment: This is the French import version of Wong War Kai's "In The Mood For Love" soundtrack. It contains two discs, the first being the original soundtrack similar to regular Hong Kong/USA release and contains 21 tracks. The second bonus disc (only found on this limited French release) is titled "More music from and inspired by In The Mood For Love". This second bonus disc contains 19 tracks. In total, this edition of the soundtrack has 40 tracks! It is simply amazing. Disc 2 contains the song "In The Mood For Love" by Bryan Ferry--the song that inspired the English title of the film. The bonus disc also has additional Nat King Cole songs in Spanish--a real treat!
Even if you already own the original soundtrack to this film, you will not regret buying this one. The bonus disc is a rare find--a true gem!
