From popular Hong Kong director Wong Kar-Wai comes this 1994 film about two policemen and their romantic woes.
"As playfully kinetic as it is utterly unclassifiable. Manic, cool and fantastically cosmopolitan..." The Village Voice
In the Mood for LoveSaturday, January 26
2:00 p.m.
This film directed by Wong Kar-Wai is a visually lush, languid tale of unfulfilled longing set in the 1960s Hong Kong. A man and a woman move in to neighboring apartments and form a bond when they both suspect their spouses of having extra-marital affairs.
"This may be one of the swooniest movies ever made about love and it luxuriates in its tailspin." The New York Times
Details:
Both movies will be shown in the Arrington Auditorium located on the 3rd floor of the Linn-Hinley Research Library, 2100 Park Place. There is no charge for these programs. The library provides refreshments. For additional information call 226-3604.
