Wong Kar-Wai finds a tension between tender love and chaste societal expectations in his masterpiece, now returning to theaters. Maggie Cheung and Tony Leung are two neighbors who begin to forge a elusive connection after their respective spouses are having an affair.
The film will screen alongside a coda of In the Mood for Love 2001, a nine-minute coda that, until now, only screened during his 2001 Cannes masterclass.
