remember last week when i posted about the film in the mood for love? these are images from it’s “sequel” 2046. story-wise i believe i enjoyed the former more, but 2046 is still visually just as stunning.
does anyone have any other chinese film suggestions as good as these? i will definitely follow wong kar wai in the future more (though i’ve seen my blueberry nights and that was horrible, imo, and not worth anyone’s time.) but his art direction, styling, cinematography, actors, etc. are all fabulous. i just think his pacing is a bit slow, but if you are into visual films, i would highly recommend.
have you been following my film bucket list? i’m trying to knock it out of the park.
have a lovely thursday!

i’ve always heard about the film 
the story centers around two neighbors, a married woman and a married man who realize that their spouses are cheating on them. they find comfort and solitude in each other since they know what the other is going through, but they refuse to act as their spouses did and act upon this sudden love that they discover between them. the acting is phenomenal from both maggie cheung and tony leung. every frame is a piece of art and though the pacing is a bit slow, it let’s your emotions and thoughts build and change throughout the film.
this film didn’t change my life, but i am glad that i watched it and it definitely gave me some new things to think about stylistically.
