2046 (2 Disc Limited Edition) (Hong Kong Version) DVD Region All
YesAsia Editorial Description
){kind=link}
Possibly the most highly anticipated film from Hong Kong this year is undoubtedly the brand new piece from Wong Kar Wai, one of the world's most acclaimed directors. Five years in the making and starring some of the biggest stars in Asia, 2046 is not merely a film, it is a cultural event of 2004.
With a cast featuring Tony Leung Chiu-Wai, Maggie Cheung, Gong Li, Zhang Ziyi, Carina Lau, Faye Wong and Kimura Takuya one cannot deny the star power in this project, but the spotlight is really on Wong. His usual production collaborators such as production designer and editor William Cheng and cinematographer Christopher Doyle are back on board for this ride into the world that only Wong Kar Wai can conjure. Is 2046 a hotel room number? A train to the future? A memory? The year before Chinas fifty-year of self-governing promise for Hong Kong expires? In many ways, it is all of the above, but also none of the above. Like all previous Wong films, it is the journey, and not the destination that matters, and all these inhabitants in his film are haunted not by the fear of the future but by the pain of the past.
Loosely a sequel to Wong's previous film, In the Mood for Love, Tony Leung once again plays writer Chow Mo Wan, but he is nothing like the Chow Mo Wan from the previous film. Now Chow has become a womanizer who writes soft pornographic stories to sustain his boozing habits. In the film we see his various relationships with a group of women: Black Spider (Gong Li) in Singapore, whose real name, Su Li Zhen, is the same as slz 1960 (Maggie Cheung), his lover in In The Mood for Love. His friendship with Mimi (Carina Lau reprising a previous WKW role), Wang Jing Wen (Faye Wong), the daughter of the motel owner who is in love with a Japanese man (Kimura Takuya) and his illicit affair with callgirl Bai Ling (Zhang Ziyi), a resident in room 2046. Is Chow Mo Wan really a completely different character, existing in a parallel world to In the Mood for Love, or is he really the same character but is now completely destroyed by a failed romance?
With Cheng's luscious art direction, Doyle's stunning cinematography, a hypnotic soundtrack by Peer Raben and Shigeru Umebayashi, as well as stunning performances from the cast, 2046, is the latest masterpiece from writer/producer/director Wong Kar Wai. The story is presented to you, and it's up to you to find its own meaning.

他是一個作家，他以為自己在寫一個關於未來的故事，但其實他只在書寫他的過去。
在他的小說?堙A神秘列車會定期開往2046 ，每個踏上列車的人都懷者同樣目的，就是重拾他們失去的記憶。據說去到2046，沒有事情是會改變的，但沒人知道是否真的，因為從來都沒有人離開2046 ，除了他，他選擇離開，他希望改變。
He was a writer. He thought he wrote about the future but it really was the past. In his novel, a mysterious train left for 2046 every once in a while. Everyone who went there had the same intention....to recapture their lost memories. It was said that in 2046, nothing ever changed.
Nobody knew for sure if it was true, because nobody who went there had ever come back - except for one. He was there. He chose to leave. He wanted to change.

Professional Review of "2046 (2 Disc Limited Edition) (Hong Kong Version) "
This professional review refers to 2046 (Hong Kong Version)
|
Astonishingly lush images lend 2046 a surface beauty unparalleled in previous Wong Kar-wai films, giving it a distinctive grainy 'look' that is difficult to faithfully describe. Production designer (and film editor) William Chang and cinematographers Chris Doyle, Lai Yiu-fai (Love Will Tear Us Apart, Infernal Affairs) and Kwan Pun Leung (Lavender, director of The Making of Happy Together) create textured, absorbing visuals that envelop the screen and make it shimmer, suffocating 2D space. This is a magnetic work to stare at and behold, a triumph of artisanal collaboration that calls striking and obvious attention to the lack of visual experimentation in most other narrative features made anywhere. The story of 2046 has drawn some speculation that Wong has somewhere lost his sense of what he's trying to say. For some people, the two hours of luscious magnificence overstays its welcome within the boundaries of Wong's haphazard storytelling. While the narrative trajectory often appears unfocused, this might be a tale that requires the repetition of slight variations in order to punch home it's portrayal of the devastation impacted upon Chow since his failed affair. It might be relevant to the formal design of the film (beautiful on the surface ...) that Chow's dashing exterior obscures his tormented soul. Like all WKW films, everyone will have a subtly different reaction or thematic interpretation -- mine was the understanding that 2046 is about the consequences of Chow's failed romance with Su, which it demonstrates through his stubborn insistence to withhold his love to those willing to give him theirs. As he leaves a trail of broken hearts he sadly seems to convince himself that love always occurs in the wrong place and, more crucially, the wrong time. Upon its initial release In the Mood for Love prompted questions about the future direction of Wong's aesthetic. Had he matured, become (more) self-absorbed, or what? 2046 does actually feel like a sequel, so I'm not sure it will provide answers for the autobiographically inclined. But it does show us that the bag of tricks owned by WKW & friends is far from empty. 9 train rides to the future past out of 10 by James Brown - heroic-cinema.com |

This customer review refers to 2046 (Hong Kong Version)
| Maybe i am not into this kind of film. I got it because i knew this film many awards in various festival. Tony Leung plays a writer who fell in love with a woman in room 2046 only to learn that she died, nevertheless, he continued to write the story using her as an inspiration. Too deep for me...i really have a hard time. |

Putting life in perspective
| Despite earlier reviews - that the movie was slow and the plot confusing - when it was first released, I totally get the story. Perhaps it is only after a certain age and with some life experience can one fully realise how one cannot escape from the past and yet one can never go back to what was before. While struggling to find ourselves again, we miss or lost the moment that is in the present, which is what the movie successfully conveyed. |

| So this movie was good, acting was great, but the sotry was a little silly. The visuals were fantastic, and it was amaginative, but not up to the standards of the actors in this film, (i.e.-gong li has many better films). Ziyi Zhang stands out in this movie if only for the reason that she has the most screen time of the major actresses which allows her to express more feelings. Good movie but could have been great. |

Where is the Cantonese version of this movie? I can't find it. I can't rate it yet since I haven't seen it. Since this movie got so many rewards, I'll give it a 10. |

As a new filmmaker entering the market in 2005 I was exposed to 2046 by accident from a close friend who left it in my car. I was overjoyed as the movie revealed its relationships and the lead actor`s bi-line regarding his fiction stories. Since then I`ve scrambled to view all of the directors work. The film is poetry. A masterpiece! |
