Neighbours Chow Mo-wan (Tony Leung Chiu-wai) and Su Li-zhen (Maggie Cheung) are connected by their suspicion that their seemingly absent spouses are having an affair. They forge a pact to keep their relationship platonic, but as days turn into weeks their unresolved emotions simmer beneath the surface, expressed through longing glances, shared cigarettes and late-night conversations. Set against the backdrop of bustling 1960s Hong Kong, In the Mood for Love is a story of the heartbreak of attraction and the fear of losing everything. This critically acclaimed drama was nominated for the Palme d’Or at the Cannes Film Festival.
‘This enthralling, enigmatic, romantic drama from Asia's most influential auteur is an essay in appetite and inhibition.’ – Time
