Wong Kar-wai’s is less a movie and more a shared secret. Set in the humid, claustrophobic corridors of 1962 Hong Kong, it tells a story of "flower-like years"—the prime of youth—spent in the quiet agony of what might have been.
The plot is deceptively simple: two neighbors, Chow Mo-wan (Tony Leung) and Su Li-zhen (Maggie Cheung), discover their spouses are having an affair with each other. Bound by a shared betrayal, they begin meeting in secret to role-play how the affair might have started, vowing "we will never be like them". In_the_Mood_for_Love_2000_HD_-_Altadefinizione01
