Marilyn K I'll just say that it is one of my all-time favorites. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/12/24 Full Review Kevin L Is Chow a fool? There's much love right there, offering itself to him. As another lovelorn drunken fool writer was advised when describing a night from his own vagabond life, having turned down an offer after thinking she was a working girl- "Always take the chance that she might be out just for love". But then Chow's hardly alone. There's fools aplenty in Wong Kar-wai's brilliant trilogy. And there's probably more tears shed in them than any other trilogy ever. 2046 alone seems to have someone in deep pangs of sorrow. "2046" is another gorgeous film by a master, and for me the single finest Chinese/Hong Kong director of his time. These films exude class, style, lush colors and clothing, and great craft. But they also showcase Wong's exceptional skill with telling stories that reflect social customs of their place and time as well as the great depth and complexities of lust, love, and loss. Tony Leung is remarkable as a sultan of seduction and cool. The detached ladies man, writer, and poor gambler is an awesome character. Also good are Faye Wong and Carina Lau as two more room 2046 residents struggling with their own bluebirds of happiness, and Gong Li as another Su Li-zhen who passes through Chow's lifeline. Then there's Zhang Ziyi as Bai Ling, my favorite character along with Chow. She's a stunning, flirtatious femme fatale of sorts. She falls all the way for Chow, but he's stuck in part in his 'play-it-cool' mode, but more than that it's his fixed and set love for Su Li-zhen. And these actual stories inform Chow's writing, providing depth, realism and great fodder for readers looking for romance, the tragic, and science-fiction elements. Oh if we could just whisper our wishes into a tree hole, cover them, and wait. A beauty this is. 4.2 stars Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/04/23 Full Review Cem Y Another beautiful movie from Wang Kar Wai, and a wonderful sequel to In the Mood for Love. So full with emotion and meaning. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 07/23/23 Full Review JJJJJJ J A fine drama about a man trying to deal with losing the love of his life. So much about the emotional experience he has and how he tries to deal with it. The plot is a bit weird but it...
