Wong Kar Wai’s award-winning international breakthrough, a ravishing evocation of romantic longing and fleeting moments
Now in a 4K Ultra HD + Blu-ray Combo Pack
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, Wong Kar Wai’s In the Mood for Love is a masterful evocation of romantic longing and fleeting moments. With its aching soundtrack and exquisitely abstract cinematography by Christopher Doyle and Mark Lee Ping Bing, this film has been a major stylistic influence on the past two decades of cinema, and is a milestone in Wong’s redoubtable career.
4K Ultra HD + Blu-ray Combo Pack includes one 4K UHD disc of the film + one Blu-ray with the film and special features
