Returning to OKCMOA's Noble Theater in celebration of its 25th anniversary, Wong Kar-wai's richly romantic and profoundly influential modern classic "In the Mood for Love" is now followed by "In the Mood for Love 2001," a nine-minute coda that, until now, only screened during the director's 2001 Cannes masterclass.--
IN THE MOOD FOR LOVE | Wong Kar-wai | 2000 | In Cantonese, Shanghainese, French, and Spanish with English subtitles | 98 minutes | PG (for thematic elements and brief language) | DCP
“Hong Kong, 1962: Chow Mo-wan (Tony Leung Chiu-wai) and Su Li-zhen (Maggie Cheung Man-yuk) move into neighboring 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 musical soundtrack and exquisitely abstract cinematography by Christopher Doyle and Mark Lee Ping-bin, this film has been a major stylistic influence on the past 25 years of cinema. Screening in a director-supervised 4K restoration.” —Janus Films
Followed by:
N THE MOOD FOR LOVE 2001 | Wong Kar-wai | 2001 | 9 minutes | NR | DCP
“Initially conceived as one third of a triptych about food, In the Mood for Love was expanded into a stand-alone feature that won immediate recognition as a modern-day classic. Another third—intended as the “dessert,” as Wong Kar-wai has put it—was, until now, only screened during his masterclass at the 2001 Cannes Film Festival. Now available in wide release for the first time, In the Mood for Love 2001 demonstrates the director’s masterful ability to generate palpable atmosphere and striking characterizations on a miniature canvas—with In the Mood for Love stars Tony Leung Chiu Wai and Maggie Cheung Man Yuk once again providing the sizzling chemistry— evoking the mystery of transient, unexpected connections in the modern city through his inimitable romantic touch.” -Janus Films
Plays as part of "In the Mood for Love" 25th Anniversary Edition. In theaters only!
