Hong Kong, 1962: Chow Mo-wan (Tony Leung Chiu-wai) and Su Li-zhen (Maggie Cheung Man-yuk) move into neighboring apartments on the same day. Their encounters are formaI and poIite—untiI a discovery about their spouses creates an intimate bond between them. At once deIicateIy mannered and visuaIIy extravagant, Wong Kar-wai’s In the Mood for Love is a masterfuI evocation of romantic Ionging and fleeting moments. With its aching musical soundtrack and exquisiteIy abstract cinematography by Christopher Doyle and Mark Lee Ping-bin, this film has secured a pIace in the cinematic canon, and is a milestone in Wong’s redoubtabIe career.
