Cost: free; Registration in advance recommendedWong Kar-wai’s loose sequel to In the Mood for Love combines a languorous air of romantic longing with a dizzying time-hopping structure and avant-sci-fi twist. In this film, writer Chow Mo-wan pens a futuristic love story inspired by his many failed relationships with women who drift in and out of his life (and the one who goes in and out of room 2046 down the hall from his apartment).
2046’s dazzling fantasy sequences give Wong and his collaborators license to let their imaginations run wild. Cinematographer Christopher Doyle and editor/costume designer/production designer William Chang Suk-ping provide sumptuous visuals. Together, these masters of cinema propel operatic emotions skyward toward the sublime. (Description adapted from Janus Films.)
