Hongkong 1966 Der Schriftsteller Chow schreibt in seinem Hotelzimmer an einem Science-Fiction-Roman. Je weiter er seine fiktive, in der Zukunft spielende Liebesgeschichte vorantreibt, desto tiefer taucht er auch in einen Strudel von Erinnerungen an eigene Liebesaffren ein. Vor seinem inneren Auge treten die drei Frauen noch einmal auf, die fr ihn wichtig waren. Jede hat ihre unauslschliche Spur in seiner Seele hinterlassen, doch vor allem die Gedanken an seine einzige wirkliche, unerfllt gebliebene Liebe verfolgen ihn. In seinem Kopf entsteht ein geheimnisvoller, faszinierend schillernder Bilderreigen, ein Sog aus schnen und traurigen Gefhlen, geheimen Sehnschten und wilden Leidenschaften. Und bald wird klar, dass Phantasie und sehnsuchtsvolle Erinnerungen untrennbar miteinander verbunden sind... (polyfilm)

I have long had a problem with East Asian cinema, and in the case of the film 2046, which was preceded by the reputation of a "megafilm" or at least a big festival film, it is no different. It must be said that the genre definition of sci-fi, or fantasy, is purely confusing in this case, although the opening titles create the impression of a futuristic blockbuster. However, this is not essential for my review. What is important is what the film is actually about. Love? Seriously? Visually, it is certainly an extremely impressive matter, but it is as far from Tarkovsky's spirit, or rather his depth of soul, as I am from being an astronaut. The film is dominated by beautiful women's faces dreamily gazing into the distance or uttering banalities. Beautifully dressed people, meticulous hairstyles, evening makeup, bright red nails, and beautiful piano tones accompanying it all. Slightly decadent characters, a somewhat dreamy atmosphere, and a mysteriously acting game with numbers. It left me with the impression of carefully created kitsch. It is not a cheap, loudly painted plaster gnome, but an ambitious attempt to reach the highest goals in the realm of kitsch. Unfortunately, it is a damn boring attempt... Overall impression: 10% for the female cast.
