In Wong Kar Wai's quasi-sequel to In the Mood for Love, 2046 is a hotel room, a futuristic story, and a state of mind. Tony Leung returns as Chow, but perhaps not the same Chow who appeared in the first film. Starting three years later in 1966, we see Chow on various Christmases as he lives, loves, and writes in a hotel and nearby restaurants. Although he is less sensitive and more of a ladies man now, Chow's love life always seems to exceed his grasp. Whether the character is the same (the director calls this an "echo" of the first movie) might be trivial. Hong Kong filmmaker Wai is such a visualist (Time magazine tabbed him as the "world's most romantic filmmaker"), the images wash over with swirling smoke, neon lights, and the faces of his outstanding cast, all lovingly photographed and smoothly scored. There's a lot more going on than the visuals, and Wai's fans will certainly find more and more details on repeated viewings. We travel into Chow's futuristic story, where the acquaintances become fictional characters traveling to a place where "everyone goes" to recapture lost memories. Often Chow talks about never seeing a lover ever again, but eventually bumps into her. The final result is a film some will cherish; others will long for the more traditional storyline of the first film. Wai certainly finds a new direction for actress Ziyi Zhang (House of Flying Daggers) as a prostitute who becomes one of Chow's many lovers. And Leung continues to be one of the world's great film actors, with a face and acting style the camera just loves. --Doug Thomas

"In the mood for love" is marked by uncertainty,characteristic of pre-turnover political climate in Hong Kong.On the other hand,2046,the date until which Hong Kong's way of life is supposed to remain unchanged, has a somewhat subtle moral that everything,including love, cannot be delved in the past and we should move on and not lose sight of the present. Colonial past is past. The future is what people make of it is another level of the meaning of this movie.

This film had such high hopes when I first bought it, and while I do like it, it can be a very confusing film. It starts with a man (the main character and author of the book he entitles "2046") trying to get a beautiful woman (Gong Li) to come away with him if he wins at a card game. She ends up winning, and the game then comes to the present. The movie spends a good deal of it's time going between reality and the fictional world he's created, while dropping hints about the woman from the beginning ... Read More

For the typical American audience, 2046 can be a puzzle. Americans tend to like their movies the way they like their novels, with a straight line progression of plot. For those who can allow themselves the luxury of going with the flow, 2046 is a stunning achievement. What this film does is to present more of a mood, spliced with wispy tendrils of thought that ebb and flow in both temporal directions. Tony Leung is Chow, a Chinese author who writes what he considers second rate soft core porn. He ... Read More

This sequel to 'In the mood for love' showcases brilliant acting and cinematography. The depth of the storyline and characters is incredible, you won't be able to remove your eyes from the screen. This is one of those movies that you have to watch a couple of times to really understand.

Subtitles. Might keep people away. But it shouldn't phase you a bit. This is a truly excellent movie. A well crafted adult movie, that reveals so much on how love is affected by time.
