Hong Kong, 1962: Chow Mo-Wan (Tony Leung Chiu Wai) and Su Li-Zhen (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. We invite guests to observe the use of colour and light in this film. Description Source: Criterion Collection. We welcome artists, the NPCC community, film buffs and film students from all over the city to come and enjoy this community screening. The collection of films selected for Arthouse Cinema at NPCC have been chosen to offer a source of inspiration, conversation, and connection, and to bring certain artistic elements to light and screen that may speak to artists looking for a creative spark. A short Q&A session will be held at the end of each screening. Admission is free with a suggested small pay-what-you-can donation of $10.00, and snacks and refreshments (alcoholic and non-alcoholic) will be available for purchase.
