2046 (2004)

Part of Wong Kar-Wai’s informal trilogy, Tony Leung Chiu Wai attempts to come to terms with the loss of Maggie Cheung in his life through his relationships with other women and by writing a science-fiction tale about the titular room. Like the other films, it does not follow a linear narrative which makes for a somewhat convoluted, but richer story. Filmed in equally lush colors and settings, I didn’t quite love it as much as In the Mood for Love, but it provides an intriguing exploration of coming to terms with lost love.
