Description
The invisible dance is performed by Mr. Chow (Tony Leung) and Mrs. Chan (Maggie Cheung), neighbors by chance in a Hong Kong apartment building in 1962. When they discover their spouses are having an affair, the two begin to find reasons to comfort one another. Affection sparks, yet the emotions it awakens are kept carefully restrained.
Every detail of the film radiates elegance: the impeccable presence of Tony Leung, the luminous beauty of Maggie Cheung, and their deeply nuanced performances turn the story into a monument of aesthetic delight. The same goes for the soundtrack, graced by the timeless voice of crooner Nat King Cole.
