Wong Kar-wai's arthouse smash is the very simple tale of two people in early '60s Hong Kong, Mr. Chow (Tony Leung) and Mrs. Chen (Maggie Cheung), drawn to one another by the discovery that their spouses are getting together on the side. A little story, full of little details, all surrounding a love affair that isn't really a love affair—but throbbing with huge, aching emotions that it can barely contain. It might just break your heart.
"IN THE MOOD FOR LOVE raises to breathtaking heights the romantic ardor and stylistic refinement that are the hallmarks of Wong's artistry. Wong unfolds slowly crystallizing passions with agonized restraint. The lovers' 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." - Richard Brody, The New Yorker
"Rapturously elegant and deeply sexy in a deliciously restrained way, IN THE MOOD FOR LOVE is one of the most romantic movies I have ever seen." - Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times
