Films of Hong Kong: In the Mood for Love (PG) + Kei Po Exhibition

A beautiful story from Hong Kong that looks both forward and back with a nostalgia for a romantic form of cinema. Wong Kar Wai’s In the Mood for Love was recently voted as the fifth greatest film of all time according to the BFI’s Critics Poll, a vote conducted every 10 years. The film is  a “heart-breaking story of illicit love that pulses with the ache of repressed desire”. (BFI)

“A film that treats the theme of love and betrayal with a theological seriousness”

Guardian ★★★★★

一個喺香港發生嘅美麗故事，懷舊地描述一幕幕有關香港1960年代前後嘅浪漫片段。

王家衛執導電影《花樣年華》，被評為史上排名第五位嘅電影，係根據 BFI 每10年進行一次嘅民意調查所得。依部電影係一個「令人超心碎嘅曖昧愛情故事，帶住一股充滿壓抑感嘅慾望痛苦」（BFI）

「一部以愛情為主題嘅電影，嚴肅得來又有一種背叛」★★★★★

The exhibition will take place between 1 – 2.30pm and 4 – 6pm, including a speech on the history of Kei Po in relation to Hong Kong. In the Mood for Love will be shown at 2.30pm
