In the Mood is a love story told from the point of impact, at the heart, and no conventional resolution could be more profound.

Further complemented by the gentle lull of Nat King Cole songs, In The Mood For Love casts a dreamy and melancholic spell that remains unbroken long after the closing credits have rolled.
