Overview

Wong Kar-wai’s loose sequel to In the Mood for Love combines that film’s languorous air of romantic longing with a dizzying time-hopping structure and avant-sci-fi twist. In the years following his loss of Su (Maggie Cheung), writer Chow Mo-wan (Tony Leung) returns to Hong Kong and strikes up a series of failing relationships with various women who drift in and out of his life – and the one who goes in and out of room 2046, down the hall from his apartment. To make a living, Chow transmutes these women into lonely characters in the delirious science fiction love stories he pens, giving rise to dazzling fantasy sequences that propel sumptuous visuals and operatic emotions skyward toward the sublime.

Why See This Film

Wong Kar-wai’s dreamy saga of heartbreak 2046 is as raw, sensual and stylish as ever. A mess of romantic interludes is reflected in neon-drenched sci-fi fantasies that give longtime collaborators cinematographer Christopher Doyle and editor/costume designer/production designer William Chang license to let their imaginations run wild. A treat for swooning fans of In the Mood for Love and anyone with eyes thirsty for colour.
