10 REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD WATCH IN THE MOOD FOR LOVE
The film shows that the tranquil and courteous city of Hong Kong is divided between indigenous Cantonese Chinese and immigrants from China. By coincidence, Chow Mo-wan who is a a journalist, moves into an apartment building occupied mainly by Shanghainese at the same time as Su Li-zhen, a secretary, while their spouses are away. When Chow finds out their respective spouses are having an affair, the two of them grow closer as they show compassion and find more and more excuses to spend time with each other.
Key casts are Maggie Cheung, Rebecca Pan, Lai Chin, Siu Ping Iam.
10 REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD WATCH IN THE MOOD FOR LOVE:
1. The emotional richness of the Hong Kong movie undeniably pierces the heart.
2. As this lovely film moves from allegro to adagio, it never loses its pervasive sense of loneliness.
3. The best Hong Kong film In the mood for love is a masterpiece.
4. The film is a masterful meditation on memory, emotional stasis, and romantic yearning.
5. Kar Wai Wong has directed a great movie.
6. The film shows age old conflict between tradition-bound behavior and emotional longings.
7. Cheung and Leung give the most subtle performances of their careers here.

I also recommend you to watch these two movies:
Fallen Angels: This 1995 movie is ever so smooth killer and a gun for hire resigns from his job when he develops a feeling of having growing pressure from his beautiful boss Agent about his whereabouts.
Chungking Express: This film has a unique style that tells almost two similar stories about loneliness and disconnection in the big city.
IN THE MOOD FOR LOVE: REVIEW
Winner of numerous awards including Best Actor at the 2000 Cannes Film Festival, In the Mood for Love confirmed that Hong Kong director Wong Kar-wai is a major figure in world cinema. As passionate as it is politely discreet, his film takes place in 1962 Hong Kong, where neighboring apartment dwellers Mr. Chow (Tony Leung) and Mrs. Chan (Maggie Cheung) discover that their oft-absent spouses are having an affair.
"Plenty of juicy "s" words apply to Best Mexican Movies IN THE MOOD FOR LOVE: This realization parallels their own mutual attraction, but fidelity and decency ensure that their intimate bond remains unspoken though deeply understood. With a stealthy, eavesdropping camera style and a screenplay created through spontaneous on-set inspiration, Wong Kar-wai crafts an intricate, finely tuned platonic romance, enhancing its ambience with a kaleidoscope of color (most notably in Cheung's dazzling wardrobe of cheongsam dresses) and careful attention to character detail. Deservedly placed on many critics' top 10 lists, this elegant film should not be missed. --Jeff Shannon
