2046 [2004] [DVD]

A thoroughly good watch. I like the films of Tony Leung, Chungking Express being the best. If you liked that one you'll like this. The visuala are quite stunning, the plot line confusing at times and there are bleak bits but the overall effect is uplifting. I don't think Leung's films are really great films up there with the best. But life would be sadder without them. For instance, I love Bach, Schubert, Bob Dylan and Lous Reed but for some reason I am still open to be charmed by Abba, if you get the drift. Leung is Abba-esque as regards film.

The image quality on this stream is really, really bad. The subtitles aren't complete. The picture doesn't fit the whole screen. If you want to watch it, rent it somewhere else.

The first disc was enchanting, so different from the western style. Once I got into the 'mood' of the story it held my attention. The second disc was very different to the first, too explicit in comparison, it didn't have the emotional depth and was too involved with the physical. I was bored with it, I think because it lacked a story line.

a follow-up to In The Mood For Love, but it's not strictly speaking a sequel, you can enjoy it on its own. A spectacular film in the truest sense, with an excellent soundtrack. If you think you've seen love stories before, think again. Breath-taking work by Wong Kar Wai...

This is an enigmatic film, a visual and cinematographic feast, as the hero, a science-fiction writer, tries to overcome a broken heart with a story about a train that travels through time to 2046. The women he loves and lost and their stories are woven together in a masterful piece of cinema. Recommended

I do not like what I think it is alternative for Asian urbane view of success.

The cinema format adaptation to a tv screen made it very small

That's all you need to know.
