In the Mood for Love 2001

The third story segment of Wong's planned film "Three Stories About Food", inspired by the book "The Physiology of Taste" by the French gastronome Jean Anthelme Brillat-Savarin, and starring Tony Leung and Maggie Cheung playing different characters in the three stories. The first story segment was about a kidnapper and the person being kidnapped, and the food they ate, the second regarding a man and a woman, neighbors, whose spouses are having an affair, featuring the new food fads instant ramen noodles and electric rice cookers, the third about a fast food shop owner and his customers, featuring an analysis of the sensation of tasting, illustrating the erotic properties of dessert. This third segment was filmed first, then the second segment was filmed but became too long and ended up released as the feature In the Mood for Love (2000), and the first segment was never shot.

Remade as 2046 (2004)
