Written by - Wong Kar Wai
Cast - Tony Leung, Gong Li, Faye Wong, Takuya Kimura, Zhang Ziyi, Maggie Cheung
Country - Hong Kong [2004]
From the visionary who gave us 'In the Mood for Love comes the next chapter of the story. A writer (Tony Leung) in the 60's of Hong Kong begins to write a novel set in 2046(a place where nothing changes). As authors will often do Mr. Chow begins inserting incidents of his own life into the novel. At the same time he leads a promiscuous life style full of heavy drinking, gambling and one night night stands.
The story unfolds in both the fiction that he writes and the life he is living. With strong characterization the film becomes great just for the artfully conducted direction and the score alone. A mercurial neighbour and interactions with his landlords daughter creates a plot that appeals to, pleases & satiates the intellect.
