- Details
- Genre: Drama
- Description: Hong Kong, 1962 Chow Mo-wan (HERO'S Tony Leung Chiu-wai) and Su Li-zhen (IRMA VEP'S Maggie Cheung Man-yuk) move into neighboring apartments on the same day. Their encounters are formal and polite until a discovery about their spouses sparks an intimate bond between them. At once delicately mannered and visually extravagant, IN THE MOOD FOR LOVE, directed by Wong Kar-wai (CHUNGKING EXPRESS), is a masterful evocation of romantic longing and fleeting moments. With it's aching musical soundtrack and it's exquisitely abstract cinematography by Christopher Doyle (2046) and Mark Lee Ping-bin (FLIGHT OF THE RED BALLOON), this film has been a major stylistic influence on the past decade of cinema, as well as a milestone in Wong's redoubtable career.

Established by Martin Scorsese in 2007, the World Cinema Project has maintained a fierce commitment to preserving and presenting masterpieces from around the globe, with a growing roster of more than three dozen restorations that have introduced moviegoers to often-overlooked areas of cinema history. Presenting passionate stories of revolution, identity, agency, forgiveness, and exclusion, this collector's set gathers six of those important works, from Brazil (Pixote), Cuba (Lucia), Indonesia (After the Curfew), Iran (Downpour), Mauritania (Soleil O), and Mexico (Dos monjes). Each title is a pathbreaking contribution to the art form and a window onto a filmmaking tradition that international audiences previously had limited opportunities to experience.
