Featuring photography by Wong Kar Wai's favourite cameraman Christopher Doyle, this love waltz is still considered an unsurpassed portrait of restrained, passionate sensuality.

When critics praise a film’s smoothly gliding camera, elegant editing, images in pleasing slow motion, and actors who move in graceful ways, they refer to its kinetic beauty. Perhaps no film in recent memory exemplifies this beauty of movements more brilliantly than Wong Kar-wai’s stylish melodrama In the Mood for Love (2000). Regularly listed among the best films of the 21st century, the film tells the heart-breaking story of two lovers—played by Maggie Cheung and Tony Leung—in 1960s Hong Kong. A film that is as movingly beautiful as it is beautifully moving.
