In the Mood for Love Collection

"In the Mood for Love" is part of a loose trilogy of films by Wong Kar-wai, which also includes Days of Being Wild (1990) and 2046 (2004). While not a direct sequel in a linear narrative sense, 2046 builds upon and references characters and themes from both Days of Being Wild and In the Mood for Love.
