TUESDAY
FILM
In the Mood for LoveWong Kar-wai's masterful romance is set in '60s Hong Kong, where a lonely married journalist meets a similarly isolated woman. When the two realize that their respective partners are cheating on them, they form an intimate bond and wrestle with the allure of a sordid affair. Christopher Doyle's vivid cinematography helped cement In the Mood for Love as a major stylistic influence on the last 20 years of film. And sure, there are a lot of reasons that the film sounds good on paper, but it's also one of the most deeply affecting stories I've ever witnessed on screen. Don't sleep on it.
