Review of 2046 (2004) by Adam L — 25 Nov 2012
Neither a follow-up nor a sequel "2046" is an alternate take on the principle character from "In the Mood for Love" (2000). Juxtaposed to his previous incarnation Mr. Chow (reprised by Tony Leung) is now a womanizing author of soft-core fiction.
Aesthetically pleasing, but for a multi-national production with a pan Asian cast and years in the making one would expect more. The film's title (pronounced 2-0-4-6) is an oft-visited Wong Kar-wai metaphor though by the year 2004 it comes off as beat-you-over-the-head kind of stuff.
Maggie Cheung Man-yuk returns in a cameo.
