CULT: In the Mood for Love (PG)

A devastating romance from Wong Kar-Wai set in 1960s Hong Kong, where a man and a woman living in the same apartment block discover that their respective spouses are having an affair. They are then drawn to each other, in an emotional but platonic friendship.

The stunning aesthetics of Wong Kar-Wai’s film, through his collaboration with the cinematographer Christopher Doyle, emphasise the emotion and isolation of the characters in a bustling though conservative city.
