2046 (2004)

Rated Mar 16 2008 • 1 review • foreign films, movies, wong kar wai, 2046, themoviethatchangedmylife • lovehkfilm.com

Ultimately, the biggest problem with 2046 is that it's simply too much Wong Kar-Wai. It's ironic that a film about choosing change over static existence would spend so much time reliving "Wong Kar-Wai's Greatest Hits." Within the first twenty minutes of 2046, Wong Kar-Wai goes back to In the Mood for Love and Days of Being Wild--and the self-reflexive nods to his previous work just keep coming. Still, complaining about all of this is exceptionally nit-picky because within its bloated exterior 2046 possesses many moments of fine, fleeting beauty that make it well worth a viewing. Minute gestures, moments of emotional longing, and the eclectic soundtrack all help make 2046 a wondrous cinematic experience--it's just that the final product isn't as successful as Wong Kar-Wai's other works. This is likely a reaction to enlarged expectations, and 2046 certainly pumps them up with its pseudo science-fiction interludes (which are intriguing, but not capitalized on), massive cast of "It" names, and allusions to greater historical and cultural significance. It all becomes a bit too much, and 2046 can't match its nominal aspirations. But even a partly-successful Wong Kar-Wai film is head-and-shoulders above most of the stuff out there.

BritFilms - 2046

When writing about a film, in an attempt to achieve some sort of literary credibility, one can find oneself overlooking the importance of the actual viewing experience and therefore fail to mention how one feels, focusing on thought alone. By looking at a film through this detached, almost third person perspective, you remove your emotional response from the critique.

After seeing Wong Kar-Wai's latest Magnus Opus `2046', I feel compelled to approach this review differently. Walking into the Cinema, I was feeling tired and irritable, the grind of the day affecting me in a rather negative way. I sat slumped low in my chair with my head propped up by my hand and hoped the film was not going to be too long. By the end, I was sat upright, eyes wide open, transfixed in an almost hypnotic state of melancholic reflection...
