The answer is obvious: his wife is cheating on him with her husband. And Ms. Chan and Mr. Chou will want to understand how the relationship between their unfaithful spouses began. But gradually the border between the game and the real novel begins to melt ...

In the sixties, people, by all means, tried to look respectable, to hide the unsightly sides of their being. The heroes of the film are forced to pretend, to pretend that nothing happened. Two people who have lost themselves. Vulnerable, timid. They never dare to change their lives. They only timidly rehearse their novel, too sublime and tender to be accused of treason.

Wong Kar-Wai tells us a story that is simple and even a little trivial. But the plot does not mean anything here, only the unique mood that the director creates is important. The glamor of the 60s, the slim silhouette of Maggie Chun, dressed in languid dresses of Chinese silk, the sound of her heels on the stairs, slow meetings and timid looks, understatement, the smoke of Tony Leung's cigarettes, tears in the depths of his eyes, shrill music by Shigeru Umebayashi - full of sadness and longing, loneliness ...

The heroes of Kar-Wai are always alone. In his philosophy, it is impossible for two heroes to be together, but you can fall in love in order to possess your secret. The mood for love is the ability to respect the sacrament of love. "In the old days, when a person had a secret that he did not want to share with anyone, do you know what he did? - he walked up the mountain, found a tree, made a hollow in it and whispered his secret into it. Then he took the damp earth and covered the hollow with it. And the secret remained forever inside. "

Wong Kar-wai introduced platonic love into fashion. The mood of love is an expression of desire that cannot be satisfied and therefore retains its strength. After watching "In the Mood for Love" you want to wear beautiful dresses like Maggie Chun's, fall in love with a stranger and yearn without making any attempts to get to know him, just plunge into the sweet music of a love mood. To part forever. And may this love forever remain as a memory, as a mood.
