Synopsis"All creation originates from a single thought. The "Humane King Sutra" describes that every thought consists of 90 flashes, and within each flash lives 900 sparks and extinguishments. For something that's supposed to be test footage of In the Mood for Love, this is a surprisingly solid little story. It looks gorgeous as well

In the Mood for Love Summary It is the year 1962 in Hong Kong, thirteen years after the establishment of the People's Republic of China under the leadership of Mao Tse-tung, the same year Mao proposed the Socialist Education Movement that would be a major precursor to the Chinese Cultural Revolution. At this time, Hong Kong is seeing an influx in migration of mainlanders to the island, particularly those wary of political upheaval. The film begins in the bustling apartment of Mrs. Suen, who is engaged in a spirited conversation with her neighbors and mahjong partners, the Koos. A young married woman named Su comes to Mrs. Suen about the room she has listed for rent in her apartment. Su is inquiring on behalf of herself and her husband, who frequently travels for work. They're looking for a place to live in Hong Kong. Mrs. Suen rents Su the room. As Su is leaving, a young man, about her age, comes to Mrs. Suen's door. He's inquiring about the same classified ad. His name is Chow. Mrs. Suen tells him that she just rented the room, but that he should speak to Mr. Koo next door; he has a room to rent, because his son has just gotten married and moved out of the apartment. Shortly after this encounter, Chow and Su move into their respective rooms. Move-in is made even more hectic and claustrophobic due to both couples moving in on the same day, at the same time. Neither Chow's wife nor Su's husband is present for the move-in. The movers keep accidentally switching items, bringing Chow's things to Su and vice-versa. Once they're all moved in, Chow and Su encounter one another in the alley and by the noodle stalls, where they both often get dinner for themselves, in the frequent event that their spouses are working late. Life goes on as usual for a time—Su works as a secretary to a businessman named Mr. Ho; Chow works as a reporter for a Hong Kong newspaper. The Suens and Koos are dazzled by the things Su's husband sends and brings home from his travels in Japan, particularly an electronic rice cooker. He brings one back for Mrs. Suen and Chow. He also brings back fine gifts for Su's boss, Mr. Ho. Specifically, the gifts are for Mr. Ho's wife and mistress. Su logistically facilitates Mr. Ho's affair by scheduling dates with his wife and mistress, making sure he has gifts for them on special occasions, and making sure the wires never cross, that both women are happy, and that Mrs. Ho never hears about his mistress. As the weeks go by, it becomes clear that Chow's wife is lying about where she is. One night, when she tells him not to wait up, that she'll be late home from work, Chow shows up at her workplace to take her out to dinner. Another person who works there tells Chow that she left early that day. Then, one afternoon, Su hears her husband's voice coming from the Suens' apartment. She knocks on the door, and Chow's wife answers. Chow's wife claims to be home alone after calling in sick from work. Su leaves the apartment, but cries to herself in the shower because she knows her husband is having an affair. Soon after Su's husband leaves for Japan, Chow's wife also leaves for Japan, supposedly also for work purposes. One night, Chow asks Su to join him for dinner at a nearby diner. He asks her out on the pretense of wanting to know where she got her handbag so that he can purchase his wife one for her birthday. Su tells him that she'd have to ask her husband, since he got it for her in Japan. They don't sell them in Hong Kong. Then Su asks Chow where he got his tie, and he tells her the same thing she told him about the bag—his wife got it for him in Japan. Su admits that her husband has a tie just like it, and Chow admits that his wife already has the same type of handbag that Su has. They both recognize that their spouses are having an affair with one another. After they leave the restaurant, they start to theorize how the affair began. Then they decide to start roleplaying their spouses, in order to play through some possible scenarios. They start to see each other more often, meeting at the restaurant, each pretending to be the other's spouse. In the course of doing this, they become close companions. Chow shares with Su his dream of writing a martial arts serial for newspapers, and she encourages him to do it. They end up working together on a serial in their spare time. But as they spend more time together—covertly, so as not to provoke rumors—Mrs. Suen takes notice of Su's general absence from the house. She lectures Su about being out too much and not spending enough time with her husband. She suggests that Su should try to prevent him from traveling so much in the future. After being shamed and lectured, Su pulls away from Chow, but Chow doubles down and gets an apartment in another building where they can work together in peace, without the prying eyes of their neighbors. At first, Su rejects the idea, but eventually she visits him at his new place, and they continue work on the serial. But after a while, Chow can no longer deny his feelings for Su. Recognizing that she will never leave her husband to be with him, he asks Su if she would set him up with a ticket to Singapore. His colleague at the newspaper, Ping, told him that the Singapore Daily is short-staffed and looking for reporters. Su asks him why he's rushing off to Singapore, and he admits that while it was never his intention to fall in love with her, he has, and that if she is unable to be with him, there's really nothing keeping him in Hong Kong. He says he needs a change of scene. But before he leaves, he asks her to rehearse their final goodbye, just as they rehearsed their confrontations of their spouses. While rehearsing, Su weeps into Chow's arms. It's clear at this juncture that their relationship has transformed into something genuine, far more than the roleplay as which it began. Three years pass by after Chow leaves for Singapore. Su visits Mrs. Suen's apartment in Hong Kong and finds Mrs. Suen in the middle of packing the place up. She's leaving for the United States to help her daughter raise her children. Suen admits that she doesn't want to leave Hong Kong, but her daughter is bothered by the political situation there, and that if she likes it in the she may never return. Su expresses interest in renting the apartment. She then asks if the Koos still live next door, and she holds back tears when Mrs. Suen reminisces about the times past, clearly thinking of her time spent with Chow. Some time later, Chow visits the Koos' old apartment to see if they still live there, but the man who answers the door tells him that they've been gone for a while. He says that everyone is leaving to escape the chaos of Hong Kong. When Chow asks whether Mrs. Suen is still in the apartment next door, the man says the same thing, but tells him that a young woman lives there with her son. Chow looks through the window and smiles, understanding that his relationship with Su is something that permanently lives in the past. The film then cuts to documentary footage of Charles de Gaulle visiting Cambodia, being greeted by the royal family at the time, calm and order just before a long period of unrest and war in Cambodia. The scene then moves to the temple, Angkor Wat, where Chow whispers a secret into a small hole in the temple wall. Afterward, he fills the hole with soil, enacting the ritual of burying secrets that he described to Ping in a restaurant in 1963, three years earlier. The film ends with sweeping shots of the vacant temple and a title card ruminating on the end of eras and times past.

SummariesTwo neighbors form a strong bond after both suspect extramarital activities of their spouses. However, they agree to keep their bond platonic so as not to commit similar in Hong Kong, 1962, Chow Mo-Wan is a newspaper editor who moves into a new building with his wife. At the same time, Su Li-zhen, a beautiful secretary and her executive husband also move in to the crowded building. With their spouses often away, Chow and Li-zhen spend most of their time together as friends. They have everything in common from noodle shops to martial arts. Soon, they are shocked to discover that their spouses are having an affair. Hurt and angry, they find comfort in their growing friendship even as they resolve not to be like their unfaithful Hong Kong. On the exact same two days, Mr. and Mrs. Chow and Mr. and Mrs. Chan, who don't know each other, rent a room in adjacent flats from the resident owner, Mr. and Mrs. Koo and Mrs. Suen respectively, and move into their room. They join the friendly relationship that exists between their landlords and the other residents of the building, although the Chows and Chans' entry into the relationships are more cordial than friendly. With Mrs. Chow and Mr. Chan often out of town either on business or personal matters, Mr. Chow and Mrs. Chan lead a somewhat emotionally lonely existence. The cordiality and emotional isolation extend to Mr. Chow and Mrs. Chan's working lives. Mr. Chan, a newspaper journalist who would rather be writing martial arts serials, has as his closest work colleague Ping, a gambler who often takes advantage of that friendship. And Mrs. Chan's job as a secretary to married Mr. Ho largely entails her handling his personal affairs, including managing and facilitating his affair with Miss Yu, something she cannot talk about to anyone. Eventually, Mr. Chow and Mrs. Chan individually come to the realization that their respective spouses are having an affair with each other, mostly taking place when they are out of town together. In dealing with this joint betrayal of their respective marriages, Mr. Chow and Mrs. Chan begin spending time together. Despite they not doing anything untoward with each other, they do not tell anyone of their time together in the inappropriateness of two married people of the opposite sex being alone with each other. As they try to figure out what to do about their respective marriages, the situation becomes more complicated when they admit that they are falling in love with each other, something that neither intended when they began their Kong, 1962. Two married couples, the Chans and the Chows, move in next door to each other. Mr Chan is hardly around, regularly disappearing overseas on business. Mrs Chow works odd hours and also tends to go overseas a lot. Mrs Chan and Mr Chow are initially just neighbors but over time a friendship blossoms, and then develops into something the backdrop of a bustling 1962 Hong Kong, and a noisy, cramped apartment building, two neighbours, Mr Chow and Mrs Chan, gradually realise that their spouses are having an affair. Blemished by betrayal's painful stain, the lithe Mrs Chan and the morosely handsome Mr Chow now struggle to understand-and keep at bay bottled-up emotions, repression, and loneliness-bound by their noble beliefs and their inflexible morality. However, little by little, a silently passionate undercurrent of inexpressible affection starts to creep up on them, as both find themselves powerless before the catalytic force of love. Are man's vows strong enough to suppress desire?—Nick RiganasSynopsisTwo couples Mr and Mrs Chan Mrs Chan played by Maggie Cheung and Mr and Mrs Chow Mr Chow played by Tony Leung Chiu Wai move into the same building on the same day. Both spend much time alone as their respective spouses work long hours. One day they discover when talking things over that their spouses are having an affaire. The two lonely hurt people come together as friends and try to reproduce the infidelity of their husband and wife whilst analysing just how it happened. Deciding in doing so to avoid the usual clichés and above all not become like 'them' they end up by falling in love for real. In becoming what they had objected to and despised they break up and leave for different lives. In the end of the movie we learn that both of the couples have split up and are alone. Mrs Chan has a son which we assume could be Mr Chow's although their 'union' was never actually shown, but implied. A divine movie with a beautiful haunting music and fabulous photography.
