In the Mood for Love - The Criterion Collection

£22.99

Released: 14th November 2022. Hong Kong, 1962: Chow Mo-Wan (Chungking Express’s TONY LEUNG CHIU-WAI) and Su Li-Zhen (Irma Vep’s MAGGIE CHEUNG MAN-YUK) move into neighbouring 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. BONUS FEATURES DIRECTOR-APPROVED SPECIAL EDITION FEATURES 4k Digital restoration with 5.1 surround DTS-HD Master Audio soundtrack, both supervised and approved by director Wong Kar Wai Documentary from 2001 by Wong, chronicling the making of the film Hua yang de nian hua (2000), a short film by Wong Interview and cinema lesson from 2001 featuring Wong Press conference from the 2000 Toronto International Film Festival with actors Maggie Cheung Man-yuk and Tony Leung Chiu-wai Interview from 2012 with critic Tony Rayns about the soundtrack Deleted scenes with optional commentary by Wong Music video Trailer PLUS: A new essay by novelist Charles Yu
