      Filmed to perfection by the great Christopher Doyle and others.

      Entertainment Weekly

      There are many places a visitor may go astray in 2046 -- places where the filmmaker appears to be a bit at loose ends too. Still, Wong's invitation -- ''Let's get lost'' -- is irresistible.

      Village Voice

      Mood is everything, trumped up by a score so rich with pop songs, bossa nova drama, and symphonic mournfulness it's almost a movie on its own. 2046 may be a Chinese box of style geysers and earnest meta-irony, but that should not suggest there aren't bleeding humans at the center of it.

      Newsweek

      In this gorgeously melancholic fresco of love affairs, Tony Leung Chiu Wai plays a womanizing pulp-fiction writer in '60s Hong Kong.

      The A.V. Club

      Just as memorable and emotionally intense as any of Wong's films. It's a mood as much as a movie.

      L.A. Weekly

      The result is a film chilly and externalized in all the ways that Mood was bottled up and woozily dreamlike.

      Time

      Even if a Chinese movie doesn't sound like your idea of summer fun, give 2046 a chance. Its pearly artistry and gorgeous faces should put you quickly, deeply, in the mood for love.
