4. Hong Kong (China) - In The Mood For Love

Around The World In 8mm

In the film, we follow two people stuck in unhappy marriages so it's pretty clear that something will happen between them. This is not a spoiler that much the poster and the title itself give away. What leads to it, what is it that happens, and what happens after it is what the film is about. You might think that the setup is fairly predictable but don’t be too sure even with this predictable set up the film manages to surprise you more than once.
