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

 interesting and intriguing December 28, 2008
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.
One of my favorites.... ever. August 31, 2008
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.
Excellent foreign film. May 27, 2008
I bought this movie mainly because I'm a big fan of Ziyi Zhang. She just jumps off the screen in this movie. I think this is probably her best work, Memoirs of a Geisha aside.
Review for 2046 May 19, 2008
All star female cast and good plot... what more could you ask for? English dub. It is an awesome movie, came to me in great condition and in no time at all.Highly recommended but make sure you watch it closely or you will fall behind.
 2046 is it really that long!! March 10, 2008
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
The trailer was better than the movie. Though it was beautifully filmed it was to long. The trailer was a bit misleading, but no spoiler here. If the movie was 30 minutes shorter it would have been better, it had more false endings than Lord of the Rings. I would have loved to give it a five, but it just didn't make the cut!
