Wow. A wonderful celebration of rootlessness. And Carina Lau is a true Chinese sex symbol. Seein Leslie Cheung in any movie is always depressin now...
In the Mood for 2046. Only just hints at what is to come from Wong Kar Wai. Heavy with atmosphere and loathesome characters.

A very honest film about unrequited love that proves that a simple story with well-constructed characters works much more effectively than what we see in Wong's most films: a lot of fancy ribbons wrapping up emptiness.
An interesting but not outstanding piece from Wong Kar-Wai. The characters are interesting but rarely sympathetic; but the shots are gorgeous, and the period and setting are intriguing.
Again, I cant get past how gorgeous LCheung is/was. Great story & characters. With ALau & MCheung. Luv WKW always.
