About this Event
Not entertainment. An experience.
✨ Two films. Two cultures. One evening exploring love and marriage.
We’ll watch
In the Mood for Love by Wong Kar-wai
and
Le Grand Amour by Pierre Étaix —
but this is more than a screening.
These films explore love and marriage not as answers,
but as lived experiences —
sometimes quiet, sometimes playful, always fragile.
What we’ll do
🍵 Share tea and slow down.
🀄 Play mahjong — a traditional Chinese game of strategy, memory, and chance,
woven into everyday life and social rituals.
🎬 Discover interesting and unexpected facts from the world of Wong Kar-wai —
his inspirations, obsessions, rhythms.
🌿 Explore scents and connect them to feelings — love, longing, nostalgia, calm.
🎧 Listen, observe, and wander through light, sound, and memory.
🎭 Feel yourself becoming part of the film — not watching from the outside,
but inhabiting its atmosphere.
🎥 And of course, watch the films as one continuous journey.
These films speak about love and marriage in different tones,
through different emotional registers.
One draws you into a world of half-tones, pauses, and unspoken feeling —
a slow immersion into longing, restraint, and inner depth.
The other gently amuses,
shimmering like colored glass caught in sunlight —
light, tender, ironic, and human.
Thematic outfits are encouraged.
Inspired by: Hong Kong, love, sleep, mystery.
1960s silhouettes, silk, pajamas, soft veils and wedding veils,
quiet elegance, playful irony.
Wear how you see it.
🎬 Both films will be screened with English subtitles.
Let your inner artist be free.
This is a place to slow down.
To feel culture, not just watch it.
To meet people — not profiles.
Come curious.
Leave changed.
Welcome drink included.
