The Frida Cinema is proud to present In the Mood for Love as part of our Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month series of films recognizing the contributions and influence of Asian Americans and Pacific Islander Americans to the history, culture, and achievements of the United States. With its aching musical soundtrack and exquisitely abstract cinematography, In the Mood for Love has been a major stylistic influence on the past decade of cinema.
At once delicately mannered and visually extravagant, the movie is a masterful evocation of romantic longing and fleeting moments. Their encounters are formal and polite-until a discovery about their spouses creates an intimate bond between them.
