**Screenwriter**: Wong Kar Wai **Producer**: William Chang Did you think we wouldn’t play this breathtaking romance again for our 40th birthday? We can’t ever get enough of this swoonie masterpiece on the big screen! Part of Wong Kar Wai’s unofficial 1960s trilogy, this spellbinding film remains one of the most beautiful and poignant films of all time. From the subtle and heartbreaking performances of Maggie Cheung and Tony Leung — who was the first Asian actor to win the Best Actor award at the Cannes Film Festival for his work in this film — to the phenomenal period art direction and costuming, to the haunting cinematography of the masterful Christopher Doyle, this exquisite film is an unrequited love story that will burn itself into your psyche permanently. Also Screening: **In The Mood for Love 2001** (9 min, 2001) Initially conceived as one third of a triptych about food, *In the Mood for Love* was expanded into a stand-alone feature that won immediate recognition as a modern-day classic. Another third—intended as the “dessert,” as Wong Kar Wai has put it—was, until now, only screened during his masterclass at the 2001 Cannes Film Festival. Now available in wide release for the first time, *In the Mood for Love 2001* demonstrates the director’s masterful ability to generate palpable atmosphere and striking characterizations on a miniature canvas—with *In the Mood for Love *stars Tony Leung Chiu Wai and Maggie Cheung Man Yuk once again providing the sizzling chemistry— evoking the mystery of transient, unexpected connections in the modern city through his inimitable romantic touch. **Picks from the Video Store** Looking for more films shot by the dreamy Christopher Doyle?
