Movie: In the Mood for Love (25th Anniversary 4K Restoration)

We are celebrating Wong Kar Wai’s iconic IN THE MOOD FOR LOVE on its 25th anniversary with a stunning new 4K restoration!

In addition to screening the original film, we will screen IN THE MOOD FOR LOVE 2001, an extended 9 minute short film, experienced only by audiences during Wong Kar Wai’s masterclass at Cannes in 2001.

This short film, intended as the “dessert” for the main course, demonstrates the director’s elegant ability to generate palpable atmosphere and striking characterizations with stars Tony Leung Chiu Wai and Maggie Cheung Man Yuk once again sparking undeniable chemistry, evoking the mystery of transient, unexpected connections in the modern city through his inimitable romantic touch.

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.
