Synopsis

In 1960, Su Li-zhen (Maggie Cheung) first meets Yuddy (Leslie Cheung) at the snack bar of the South China Athletic Association. Then, in 1962, she meets Chow Mo-wan (Tony Leung) when they both move into apartments rented from Mrs. Suen (Rebecca Pan). The two soon discover that their spouses are having an affair, and when it becomes clear that their friendship is starting to blossom into something more, they are reluctant to begin an affair themselves. "In the Mood for Love" is often ranked as one of the greatest films of all time and is considered a landmark of Asian cinema. In 2005, it was selected by the Hong Kong Film Awards Association as one of the “Top 100 Chinese Films.”
