Watch the film and join us in discussing it together with Cinobo’s facilitators!
Many people would still vow that this is the most beautiful film ever created and that its 4K restoration is catapulting this beauty to unprecedented heights. A landmark in Wong Kar-Wai’s filmmaking career, with footage, colors, music and slow motion blending melancholily in a celebration of the senses.
Film Synopsis:
Chow, a newspaper editor-in-chief, moves with his wife to a new house. There he meets Li-zhen, the beautiful girl next door, wife of a sales representative who is usually away on business trips. Chow's wife is also often away from home. At some point Chow and Li-zhen realize that their spouses are lovers, and then they find themselves on the trail of a sexual desire that none of them will want to own.
