Wong Kar Wai`s 2046

^i like that, it's so dry.
reminds me of daniel clowes, too.
thanks again czilla, your posts are always interesting.

thanks much. ^^

Yeah, the Super Hero Girls poster is especially Ghost World-esque. Anyways, only appropriate the WKW's so-pretty, lush and arty movies inspire another artist in turn. ^^

It's funny, just from the stills, 2046 reminded my a little bit of Angela Lindvall's foray into film, directed by Sofia Coppola's brother (?), CQ. Luckily, it was 8 million times better, but high fashion with a sci fi twist seems to work pretty well.

I can't wait to see this! It all looks SO beautiful. I saw the preview for it when I went to watch "Layer Cake" and that movie was horrible but the preview of "2046" made it worth it!!!

ok..i really need to see this. supposedly it comes out in august in nyc and la?

in the mood for love was one of my favorite films ( expecially since i stumbled upon it and didn't experience the hype around it) but i was slightly disappointed by the very scarce appearance of maggie cheung- fans were expecting 2046 to be more of as romantic sequel. it dragged on a bit (ever changing final script ) but as usual chris doyle shows he's the best cinematographer around- it looks wonderful

2046...visually gorgeous and breathtaking!!! storyline-wise, i have to say it's a little too convoluted. i still prefer In The Mood For Love. in anycase, i'm a huge Wong Kar Wai fan.

I guess I'm the exception here. I hated this movie. I felt it was style over substance.

Nothing like "In the Mood for Love" which was such a beauty of a film.

I thought this movie was pretty boring. Visually, it's spectacular, however :]

Wong Kar Wai was set to direct Nicole Kidman in "Lady from Shangai" and i was really exicted about it,sounds like a great story.He would be great to direct Kidman!But movie was postponed for next year and its still not sure if Kidman will be in it!Shame!
