Su Li-Zhen in In the Mood for Love is, played by Maggie Cheung, an exquisite study of restraint and longing set in the 1960s in Hong Kong. She captures the subtle emotions of a woman who could not clearly express her utmost entrapment due to her forbidden relationship. Her role was nuanced enough to earn her many accolades and cemented her as one of the best actors in the world.
