Two neighbours form a strong platonic bond after both suspect extramarital activities of their spouses. 25 years on from its release, we can safely say that this film has achieved cult-status as one of the most beautiful films on the big screen – don’t miss this rare opportunity.
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.
Without doubt one of the most breathtakingly gorgeous films of this century to date, dizzy with a romantic spirit that has been missing from the cinema since the 1940’s.
This beautifully tailored, low key (but always dramatic) story is subtly erotic, and effortlessly cool.
