In the Mood for Love (simplified Chinese: 花样年华; traditional Chinese: 花樣年華; lit. 'Flower-like Years', 'the prime of one's youth') is a 2000 romantic drama film written, directed, and produced by Wong Kar-wai. A co-production between Hong Kong and France, the film follows a man (Tony Leung) and a woman (Maggie Cheung) in 1962 who discover that their spouses are having an affair. As they spend time together, they gradually develop feelings for one another. It is the second installment in an informal trilogy, preceded by Days of Being Wild and followed by 2046.

The film premiered in the official competition at the 53rd Cannes Film Festival,[6] where it received acclaim. Leung won the Best Actor award, becoming the first Hong Kong actor to receive the honor. In the Mood for Love was selected as Hong Kong's submission for Best Foreign Language Film at the 73rd Academy Awards, though it was not nominated.[7] It is often listed as one of the greatest films of all time and one of the major works of Asian cinema.[8][9]
Plot

In 1962 British Hong Kong, Shanghainese expatriates Chow Mo-wan, a journalist, and Su Li-zhen (Mrs. Chan), a secretary at a shipping company, rent rooms in adjacent apartments. Each has a spouse who often works late, leaving them alone during overtime shifts. Due to the friendly but overbearing presence of Su's Shanghainese landlady, Mrs. Suen, and their bustling, mahjong-playing neighbours, Chow and Su are frequently left alone in their rooms and rarely dine with the other tenants.

Although they are initially polite only out of necessity, they grow closer as they realize their spouses are having an affair with each other. Chow notices that his wife owns a handbag available only overseas—one that Su's husband had purchased for her. Su, in turn, observes that her husband wears a necktie identical to one Chow owns, a gift from Chow's wife. As they piece together the truth, they begin to reenact how the affair might have started. While both accept that their spouses have betrayed them, they strive to avoid making the same mistake.

Chow invites Su to help him write a martial arts serial. Their increased time together draws the attention of their neighbors, prompting Chow to rent a hotel room where they can work in private. As time passes, they acknowledge their growing feelings for each other. They continue reenacting scenes from their spouses' affair, but the emotional toll unsettles Su. They sometimes stop speaking, only to reconnect again later. When Chow receives a job offer in Singapore, he asks Su to come with him. She agrees, but arrives at the hotel too late and breaks down in his empty room.

The following year, in Singapore, Chow tells a friend an old story: when someone had a secret, they would climb a mountain, carve a hollow in a tree, whisper the secret into it, and seal it with mud. Su later visits Chow's apartment in Singapore. She calls him but says nothing when he answers. Afterward, Chow notices a lipstick-stained cigarette butt in his ashtray and realizes she had been there.

Three years later, Su visits Mrs. Suen, who is preparing to emigrate to the United States, and inquires about renting her old apartment. Some time afterward, Chow returns to Hong Kong to visit his former landlords, the Koos, who have moved to the Philippines. He asks about the Suen family next door, and the new owner informs him that a woman and her son now live there. Chow leaves, unaware that Su and her young son are now living in the apartment next door.

During the Vietnam War, Chow travels to Cambodia and visits Angkor Wat. As a monk looks on, he whispers into a hollow in a wall and seals it with mud.
