The second part of Wong Kar-Wai's informal movie trilogy about love, time, and chances not taken, In the Mood for Love is often cited as one of the greatest films in Asian cinema, and with its affecting, universal themes has become something of a beloved cult favourite in the west.

The tale of two betrayed spouses who struggle with their romantic feelings when they realise their respective partners are having an affair with each other, the drama is an unconventional, stylish look at unrequited love characterised by breathtakingly beautiful scenery and moving performances.

Tackling countless lofty themes with both delicacy and humanism - including memory, lonliness, and mourning - In the Mood for Love makes for an unforgettably haunting viewing experience, as moving as it is tragic, and as gorgeous as it is wonderfully unique.
