In the Mood for Love (2000)
Details
Dir. Wong Kar-wai | Hong Kong (in Cantonese with English subtitles) | 2000 | 107 min. | PG | 4K DCP
Hong Kong, 1962: Chow Mo-wan (Tony Leung) and Su Li-zhen (Maggie Cheung) move into neighboring apartments on the same day. Their encounters are formal and polite — until a discovery about their spouses creates an intimate bond between them. At once delicately mannered and visually extravagant, Wong Kar-wai’s IN THE MOOD FOR LOVE is a masterful evocation of romantic longing and fleeting moments. With its aching musical soundtrack and exquisitely abstract cinematography by Christopher Doyle and Mark Lee Ping-bin (Winners, Technical Grand Prize, Cannes 2000), this film has been a major stylistic influence on the past quarter century of cinema, and is a milestone in Wong’s redoubtable career.
Followed by 9 min. short film In The Mood For Love 2001
