In The Mood for Love

Hong Kong/2000 — directed by Wong Kar Wai | 99 min.

In 1962 Hong Kong, 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, life-changing bond. Delicately mannered and visually astonishing, Wong Kar Wai’s In the Mood for Love is a masterful evocation of romantic longing and fleeting moments.

With its brilliantly evocative soundtrack and exquisite color cinematography, it was named one of the ten best films of the 21st century by The New York Times.

This 4K presentation was supervised by the director and will be shown alongside his rarely seen short film In the Mood for Love 2001. In Cantonese and Shanghainese with English subtitles.

“Shockingly beautiful. An ecstatic vision and an evanescent masterwork.” – Manohla Dargis, L.A. Weekly
