Episode 321: In the Mood for Love

Released 27 August 2025

For this episode, we watched the Wong Kar-wai’s modern classic In the Mood for Love, starring Maggie Cheung and Tony Leung which debuted at the Cannes Film Festival in 2000. It sits at a hugely impressive fifth place on the 2022 Sight and Sound list and has a 92% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. It has also run at the Prince Charles Cinema in London for a record-breaking 75 consecutive weeks, so we take a look at the history of that UK institution as well.
