Set in Hong Kong, Singapore and Cambodia in the 1960s, Wong Kar
Wai's In the Mood for Love (2000) is a film that luxuriates in the
feeling of being in love - without ever turning into a love story.
Its central characters, Mr Chow and Mrs Chan, are tenants in
next-door apartments in Hong Kong who discover that their
respective spouses are having an affair. Both of them have
promiscuous colleagues at work, but they struggle to make sense of
their partners' behaviour - and to control their growing feelings
for each other. Hailed by the press as 'the consummate
unconsummated love story of the new millennium', this film about
desire repressed has become a firmly established classic of the
twenty-first century. In his sharp and revealing analysis of In the
Mood for Love, Tony Rayns draws on his considerable expertise in
East Asian cinema and on his proximity to Wong Kar Wai and his
colleagues at Jet Tone during the film's long and complicated
genesis. He delivers a personal and highly original commentary on
the film and its production, complete with privileged insights into
Wong's idiosyncratic working methods and influences. The book also
places the film in the context of Wong's other work, with
sidelights on its place in Hong Kong cinema as a whole. This
special edition features original cover artwork by Jimmy Turrell.
