Critics Consensus
An exquisitely shot showcase for Maggie Cheung and Tony Leung that marks a somber evolution of Wong Kar-wai's chic style, In the Mood for Love is a tantric tease that's liable to break your heart.
Rex Review:
Wong Kar-wai’s romantic meditation of hidden yearning and unspoken connection remains an era-defining masterpiece.
Set in 1960s Hong Kong, it follows two neighbours who discover their spouses are having an affair. As they spend time together, they form a connection that hovers between friendship and love, holding back from acting upon their feelings.
The film, like so many of its director’s works, is visually stunning. Every frame feels meticulously composed, from narrow stairwells to rain-soaked streets lit by neon glow. Maggie Cheung and Tony Leung deliver quiet, magnetic performances, capturing every unspoken thought and flicker of longing with subtle precision. Their chemistry is deeply felt, filled with tension and tenderness.
Drama unfolds in small moments rather than grand declarations; a shared meal, a gentle conversation, a brief touch. The recurring nostalgic music, especially Shigeru Umebayashi’s haunting theme, adds to its hypnotic sense of melancholy.

Parking in Berkhamsted is very difficult but there is road parking along Three Close Lane. Please allow time to find somewhere to park. We meet between (or near to) the two doors in the bar.
