In 1962 Hong Kong, neighbors Chow Mo-wan and Su Li-zhen discover their spouses are having an affair. As they spend time together, they develop feelings for each other, but their relationship remains chaste and unspoken, reflecting societal constraints and their own moral compass.
How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A visually rapturous meditation on desire that never quite touches, where two people find solace in proximity while maintaining an aching distance. Wong Kar-wai transforms a simple premise into a cinematic poem about what remains unspoken and unfulfilled.
