In the Mood for Love

Frida Cinema invites you to experience a high point in Wong Kar-wai’s redoubtable career with cinema classic, In the Mood for Love, a hauntingly beautiful romantic drama from the master filmmaker.

Hong Kong, 1962: Chow Mo-wan (Tony Leung Chiu-wai) and Su Li-zhen (Maggie Cheung Man-yuk) move into neighboring apartments on the same day. Their encounters are formal and polite—until a discovery about their spouses creates an intimate bond between them. At once delicately mannered and visually extravagant, the movie is a masterful evocation of romantic longing and fleeting moments.
