Sensual and romantic, Wong Kar-wai's In the Mood for Love is one of the most beloved films of the 21st century and essential big-screen viewing!

Two strangers—played by the exquisite Tony Leung and Maggie Cheung—move into neighboring apartments on the same day. They have few, formal interactions until they discover their spouses are having an affair with each other. The intimate bond that then forms between them becomes the subject for this glorious film filled with romantic longing and swoon-worthy visuals and music. In the Mood for Love has had an unquantifiable influence on modern cinema, and its captivating cinematography and unique style beg to be seen in a theater! (98 mins., 4K DCP)
