Carina Lau, Chen Chang, Faye Wong
He was a writer. He thought he wrote about the future, but it really was the past. In his novel, a mysterious train left for 2046 every once in a while. Everyone who went there had the same intention ...( read more

Just when you think Wong Kar Wai couldn't make a better film he follows up In the mood for love with this, his amazing follow up is faultless! Stunningly beautiful cinema!
A step back for Wong Kar Wai because he essentially remakes In the Mood for Love but in a more convoluted and unnecessary manner.
The technical aspect of a film has to be at the service of the story, and never the other way. Wong Kar Wai is yet another lecturer of visual masturbation with very few reasonable arguments to make a cinematic statement. This film is like a series of advertisements, beautifully s...( read more)
I'd consider myself an unusually patient moviegoer for someone of my age. Now, I don't mean to sound like a snob - I just recognize that my age group tends to gravitate more towards flashy gunfights or revolting sexual humor. I like films that are methodical with full fleshed cha...( read more)
I fell asleep while watching it, through no fault of the movie. It had just been a really crazy busy day. I need to finish seeing the last 20 minutes of it. So far tho, even if at first I wasn't sure what was going on or if I was even interested, it slowed creeped into me and I w...( read more)
The production design, cinematography, acting and music are indeed outstanding, no question about it, but the plot is flat, redundant and obvious, as if written by a 15 year-old. To make matters worse, the main character is downright unlikable.
I actually didn't like this as much as i thought i would...... It was still pretty good though, and i see why it SHOULD be good. It just didn't hold my attention that well.
Warning: This is not about the future. Decadent and erotic at times. Mostly good for insomnia.
First of all I want to admit main theme of the movie... it's great... Shigeru Umebayashi is really one of the best modern composers... the movie is very interesting and very sad as every film of Kar Wai.
It's like a sketchbook. These are images, tones, dialogue and characters that Wong is sure of, and he practices them, but he does not seem very sure why he is making the movie, or where it should end. full review
2046 isn't entirely successful: It's very high-concept and can be difficult to follow. But when it was over, I immediately wanted to watch it again. full review
The film is a beautiful reverie, a kind of poem about lovers briefly glimpsed and never forgotten. full review
Long, enigmatic, rapturously beautiful meditation on romance and remembrance. full review
Wong's admirers, like those of Stanley Kubrick, thrill to his visual dictatorship, but in both instances the inquiry into passion can seem a weirdly impassive affair. full review
