New Trailer for WKW's 'In the Mood for Love' 2001 / 25th Anniversary

"There's nothing between us, but I don't want to gossip." Janus Films has released one more official trailer for the next re-release of Wong Kar Wai's beloved romantic classic In the Mood for Love, celebrating its 25th anniversary this year. The film originally premiered at the 2000 Cannes Film Festival, and was first released in 2001 in the US. There was already a 4K restoration back in 2020, though now with the pandemic over it's time to give this a proper theatrical re-release. Don't miss it! Janus will screen the 4K restoration along with a rarely screened complementary short film titled In The Mood For Love 2001, which WKW originally showed during his Cannes 2001 masterclass. Two neighbors, a woman and a man, form a strong bond after both suspect extramarital activities of their spouses. However, they keep their bond platonic so as not to commit similar wrongs. It's described as a "a masterful evocation of romantic longing and fleeting moments. With its aching musical soundtrack & exquisitely abstract cinematography by Christopher Doyle and Mark Lee Ping-bin, this film has secured a place in the cinematic canon, and is a milestone in Wong's redoubtable career." Starring Tony Leung and Maggie Cheung as Chow Mo-wan and Mrs. Chan. This is such a gorgeous, special film. If it's playing anywhere on the big screen near you, you simply must go see it. // Continue Reading ›
