About this event
FilmDESTINATION LOVE: HONG KONG (WONG KAR-WAI EDITION) Join us for four Hong Kong-Set Romantic Movies directed by Wong Kar-Wai In Our Destination Love Series this month! DESTINATION LOVE is a bi-monthly in-house series focusing on romance and travel. This month, we go to Hong Kong! New Restoration! Wong Kar Wai’s In the Mood for Love returns to the big screen in a new restoration. Watch this essential cinematic experience of longing, restraint, and unspoken connection on the big screen! Featuring the rarely screened “IN THE MOOD FOR LOVE 2001” short! 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.
