2046

Wong Kar Wei's 2004 masterpiece, 2046, is already making quite a stir around the globe. Recently released in France and the UK, the two lead actors, Leung Chiu-Wai (of Infernal Affairs and many others) and Zhang Ziyi (of Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, House of Flying Daggers, etc.) have won awards for their performances in 2046 from the Hong Kong Critic Society.

The film jumps from one time and setting quickly to another. It can be somewhat disorienting at times, but works well with the plot and theme of the movie. The editing style and pacing makes the viewer think more about the plight of the main character (Leung) and his relationship to the many women in his life. The pacing can be slow at times, but when you get to look at beauties such as Zhang Ziyi and Li Gong, it makes it all the easier.
