In the Mood for Love

In 1960s East Asia, two quiet neighbors discover that their spouses are having affairs. As they spend time together coping with betrayal, a tender bond develops, tested by loneliness, social expectations, and their determination not to repeat the harm done to them.

My take

You’ll likely enjoy this if you appreciate elegant, melancholic romances and subtle emotional storytelling, while fans of Days of Being Wild may find its atmosphere especially appealing; Not for you if you prefer fast pacing or dramatic twists.
