In the Mood for Love
Critics have also noted Spike Lee's influence on the show especially in the "Thanksgiving" episode. Wong Kar-wai's 2000 film "In the Mood for Love" has been selected by critics as one ripe for comparison with "Master of None". In particular the episode "Buona Notte" "where would-be lovers express their feelings for each other through gestures and furtive touches instead of full-on physical contact."
