In the Mood for Love In the Mood for Love is a 2000 Hong Kong film written, produced and directed by Wong Kar-wai, starring Tony Leung and Maggie Cheung. It is frequently listed as one of the greatest films of Asia. The film's original Chinese title, meaning "the age of blossoms" or "the flowery years" – Chinese metaphor for the fleeting time of youth, beauty and love – derives from a song of the same name by Zhou Xuan from a 1946 film. The English title derives from the song, "I'm in the Mood for Love". Wong had planned to name the film "Secrets", until listening to the song late in post-production. In 2016, BBC named ‘In The Mood For Love’ 2nd best film of the century. It has been selected as the Best Asian Movie in history by CNN.com.
