It forms the second part of an informal trilogy, alongside Days of Being Wild[6] and 2046.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe film premiered at the Cannes Film Festival on 20 May 2000,[7] to critical acclaim and a nomination for the Palme d'Or; Leung won Best Actor (the first Hong Kong actor to win the award). It is often listed as one of the greatest films of all time and one of the major works of Asian cinema.

Each has a spouse who works and often leaves them alone on 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 often alone in their rooms and rarely dine with the other tenants. Although they initially are friendly to each other only as need be, they grow closer as they realize that their spouses are having an affair with each other, and subsequently try to reenact how the affair might have begun.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChow invites Su to help him write a martial arts serial. Their increased time together draws the attention of their neighbors, leading Chow to rent a hotel room where they can work together undistracted. As time passes, they acknowledge that they have developed feelings for each other. When Chow takes a job in Singapore, he asks Su to go with him. She agrees but arrives at the hotel too late to accompany him.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe next year, in Singapore, Chow relays a story to his friend about how in older times, when a person had a secret, they would go atop a mountain, make a hollow in a tree, and whisper it into the hollow and cover it with mud. Su arrives at Singapore and visits Chow's apartment. She calls Chow but remains silent when Chow picks up the phone. Later, Chow realizes she had visited his apartment after seeing a lipstick-stained cigarette butt in his ashtray.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThree years later, Su visits Mrs. Suen, who is about to emigrate to the United States, and inquires about whether her apartment is available for rent. Sometime later, Chow returns to Hong Kong to visit his former landlords the Koos, who have emigrated to the Philippines. He asks about the Suen family next door, and the new owner tells him a woman and her son are now living there. Chow leaves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDuring the Vietnam War, Chow travels to Cambodia and visits Angkor Wat. As a monk watches him, Chow whispers something into a hollow in a wall and plugs it with mud.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e[[Selling Points]]\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePressed on limited edition burgundy red vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFeaturing with Shigeru Umebayashi and Michael Galasso\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncluding classic tracks “Yumeji’s Theme” and “Angkor Wat Themes\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e[[Catalog Number]]3524496-RED[[Artist]]Various Artists\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Analog Dept.","offers":[{"title":"In The Mood For Love (Import) \/ Vinyl \/ LP Burgundy Red","offer_id":47407084536053,"sku":"3524496-RED","price":80.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"In The Mood For Love (Import) \/ Vinyl \/ LP Red (LITA Exclusive)","offer_id":43959776051445,"sku":"3524496-LITA-2","price":80.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0080\/6417\/2096\/files\/tmp_2F1611092857268-g8om0fcjpee-d56d2bfef92a5420a714fe29819958f5_2FMood.jpg?v=1690529202"},{"product_id":"happy-together","title":"Happy Together (春光乍洩)","description":"\u003cp\u003e[[Release Detail]][[Release Description]]\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"Happy Together (Chinese: 春光乍洩)\" is a 1997 Hong Kong romantic drama film directed by Wong Kar-wai starring Leslie Cheung and Tony Leung Chiu-wai, depicting a couple's turbulent romance.
