In the Mood for Love (Traditional Chinese: 花樣年華; Simplified Chinese: 花样年华; Pinyin: Huāyàng niánhuá; Yale: Fa yeung nin wa (Fā yeuhng nìhn wàh), literally "the age of blossoms" or "the flowery years", which is a Chinese metaphor for the fleeting time of youth, beauty and love) is a 2000 Hong Kong film directed by Wong Kar-wai, starring Maggie Cheung and Tony Leung. The film premiered on May 20, 2000, at the 2000 Cannes Film Festival, where it was nominated for the Palme d'Or.

The film's original Chinese title derives from a song of the same name by Zhou Xuan from a 1946 film. The English title derives from a Bryan Ferry cover of the song "I'm in the Mood for Love" that is also used in the film. The film forms the second part of an informal trilogy, together with the first part Days of Being Wild (released in 1991) and the last part 2046 (released in 2004).

Great film. WOng at his brightest. He's always had a penchant for luxurious but cliche images. People looking longingly at eachother through a dim, smoke-lit room. Bu there, he manages to use that imagery to actually create two very complex and nuetral lovers. Unsure of themselves, their choices, and their desires for the future. This is one of the only times I can safely say neither seemed petty nor melodramatic. A rich story and a rich visual landscape.
