We are celebrating Wong Kar Wai’s iconic IN THE MOOD FOR LOVE on its 20th anniversary with a stunning new restoration!
“In the Mood for Love is probably the most breathtakingly gorgeous film of the year (2001), dizzy with a nose-against-the-glass romantic spirit that has been missing from the cinema forever.” – The New York Times
“Their pain borne with grace and their rapture held in check are revealed as vividly through the two stars’ radiant stillness as from the nocturnal glow of Wong’s poised, tense images.” – The New Yorker
“[A] mesmerising tale of love never realised – it’s up there with Brief Encounter and Roman Holiday as the best of the genre.” – The Times (UK)

In 1962, journalist Chow Mo-wan (Tony Leung Chiu Wai) and his wife move into a Hong Kong apartment, but Chow’s spouse is often away on business. Before long, the lonely Chow makes the acquaintance of the alluring Su Li-zhen (Maggie Cheung Man-yuk), whose own significant other also seems preoccupied with work. As the two friends realize their respective partners are cheating on them, they begin to fall for one another; however, neither wants to stoop to the level of the unfaithful spouses.
