Curious about In the Mood for Love. Would you call it a relaxed evening pick or something to save for the right mood?

Cian, yes, a spoiler-free discussion would be ideal. I am trying not to look too much up beforehand.

In the Mood for Love is one I am weighing up. A little more variety in the shortlist is always welcome. Glad this is in the pool.

Eimear, agreed on keeping the pitch short. I want a reason to try it without knowing every turn.

For anyone considering In the Mood for Love: The pitches in here are useful. A couple of lines about the tone can tell me more than a score.
