In The Mood For Love - 25th Anniversary
2000 98mins Hong Kong (PG) Romance

Please Note: This version of the film marked 'w/Short' in the programme will play with the 9min short IN THE MOOD FOR LOVE 2001. This will screen immediately following the main feature credits. Please stay in your seat if you would like to watch the short film. 

IN THE MOOD FOR LOVE (2000) - 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 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, this film has been a major stylistic influence on the past 25 years of cinema.

IN THE MOOD FOR LOVE 2001 (2001) (9 min Short) - Initially conceived as one third of a triptych about food, In the Mood for Love was expanded into a stand-alone feature that won immediate recognition as a modern-day classic. Another third—intended as the “dessert,” as Wong Kar-wai has put it—was, until now, only screened during his masterclass at the 2001 Cannes Film Festival. Now available in wide release for the first time, In the Mood for Love 2001 demonstrates the director’s masterful ability to generate palpable atmosphere and striking characterizations on a miniature canvas—with In the Mood for Love stars Tony Leung Chiu Wai and Maggie Cheung Man Yuk once again providing the sizzling chemistry— evoking the mystery of transient, unexpected connections in the modern city through his inimitable romantic touch.

Plays as part of IN THE MOOD FOR LOVE 25th Anniversary Edition. In theatres only!
