Yearning in Hong Kong cinema - In the Mood for Love - at Golden Age cinema

Event: In the Mood for Love, at Golden Age cinema in the city.

Description: “Visually striking and achingly beautiful, In the Mood for Love is Hong Kong master filmmaker Wong Kar-wai’s most potent portrait of love and longing. One fateful day in 1962, Chow Mo-wan (Tony Leung Chiu-wai) and Su Li-zhen (Maggie Cheung Man-yuk) simultaneously move into neighbouring Hong Kong apartments with their respective partners. With their spouses often away on business trips and their overbearing landlady’s noisy mahjong sessions extending late, Chow and Su are often alone. Their passing encounters are brief, polite and formal until the two make a terrible discovery about their partners and a bond of intimacy, melancholy and heartbreak takes shape.”

Where: Golden Age Cinema, at Paramount House, 80 Commonwealth St, Surry Hills

When: 8.25pm Monday 26 February 2024
