A charming story with a simple plot. Tony Leung, a journalist in Hong Kong and Maggie Cheung, who lives with her husband are next door neighbors. They suddenly fall in wrong love. What will they do to hide it ?
As a study of people determined to remain more true to their values than to their emotions, In the Mood for Love offers an experience like few other films of recent memory.
There may be no more sensual director in the world than Hong Kong's Wong Kar-Wai, and In the Mood for Love is one of his richest and most melancholy works, a shadow dance of would-be lovers sketched in suggestions and intimations.
The film is gorgeous, dripping with texture and sensuality and, well, mood.
