In 1962 Hong Kong, neighbors Su Li-zhen (Mrs. Chan) and Chow Mo-wan (Mr. Chow) discover their spouses are having an affair. As they spend time together, they develop feelings for each other, but their relationship remains chaste and unspoken, reflecting societal constraints and their own moral compass.

Have You Ever Forgotten Something? — Wong Kar-wai's Hong Kong 1 members · 10 movies

Time moves strangely in Wong Kar-wai's Hong Kong. Neon-lit corridors, missed connections, Tony Leung's face, Faye Wong blasting "California Dreamin'" out of a snack bar. This flock collects the complete WKW filmography — from the blurry-lens yearning of Days of Being Wild to the martial arts reverie of The Grandmaster — and the adjacent Hong Kong New Wave work that shares that particular ache. Longing as a cinematic language. Heartbreak as a visual style.
