Representation:
The weird yet intimate bond
In 1962, journalist Chow Mo-wan (Tony Leung Chiu Wai) and his wife move into a Hong Kong apartment, 
but Chow's spouse is often away on business. Before long, the lonely Chow makes the acquaintance of the alluring Su Li-zhen (Maggie Cheung Man-yuk), whose own significant other also seems preoccupied with work. As the two friends realize their respective partners are cheating on them, they begin to fall for one another; however, neither wants to stoop to the level of the unfaithful spouses.
A new perspective of love
In the Mood for Love chooses the topic of adultery, but there is no jealousy or revenge, tit for tat like some modern movies. Instead, the film presents very real-life, very realistic situations about two people falling in love. For the first time Western audiences know, it turns out that love without touches or hot kisses can be just as beautiful and romantic.
