In British Hong Kong in 1962, Shanghai expatriates Chow Mo-wan, a journalist, and Su Li-shen, a secretary at a shipping company, rent adjacent rooms in an apartment. Each has a spouse who works and often leaves them alone on overtime shifts. Due to the friendly but overbearing presence of a Shanghainese landlady, Mrs. Suen, and their bustling, mahjong-playing neighbours, Chow and Su often find themselves alone in their rooms. Although they initially are only friendly to one another as need be, they begin to grow closer as they realize that their spouses are sleeping together.In the Mood for Love 2000 Movie Download.
Chow invites Su to help him write a martial arts serial for the papers. The increased time that they spend together draws the attention of their neighbors. Chow rents a hotel room away from the apartment where he and Su can work together without attracting attention. The relationship between Chow and Su is platonic, but as time passes, they acknowledge that they have developed feelings for each other. When Chow takes a job in Singapore, he asks Su to go with him. She decides to do so but arrives too late at the hotel to accompany him.
The next year, Su goes to Singapore and visits Chow’s apartment. She calls Chow, who is working for a Singaporean newspaper, but she remains silent when Chow picks up. Later, Chow realises she has visited his apartment after seeing a lipstick-stained cigarette butt in his ashtray. While dining with a friend, Chow relays a story about how in older times, when a person had a secret that could not be shared, he would instead go atop a mountain, make a hollow in a tree, whisper the secret into that hollow and cover it with mud.
