Almost a companion piece to In The Mood For Love, in 2046 Tony Leung reprises his role of Chow, a fiction writer living in a hotel in Hong Kong in the sixties, and trying to escape the painful memories of a failed liaison. He's a confirmed bachelor and a natural heartbreaker. Chow is writing a futuristic romance novel set in 2046, while indulging his passion for the women who live across the hallway in Room 2046. An elegy to lost love, and a seductive meditation on memory and regret, 2046 is the most ravishingly beautiful and romantic movie of 2005 and is an absorbingly mysterious and richly sensuous experience.
