2046

The sequel to In The Mood For Love finds Chow (Tony Leung) liasing with numerous women in an effort to get over his lost love, while writing a science fiction story.


A much more passionate story than the previous one, but the relationships Chow has seem empty: he doesn't seem to feel much for them in spite of what they might feel for him. And there are a lot of them.

Not a bad film, if a little over long. One delight is Zhang Ziyi (who played the blind girl from House of Flying Daggers) as one of his liasons, an antagonistic party girl, but Faye Wong is good as his neighbour's daughter who helps him with his writing.

Also, if all female androids are going to look like Faye Wong, the future's going to be pretty cool.
