Our suggestions
Several women enter a science fiction author's life over the course of a few years, after the author has lost the woman he considers his one true love.
"The last part in Wong Kar-wai's unofficial trilogy, alongside 'Days of Being Wild' and 'In the Mood for Love'. If the latter is about the unfulfilled temptation of a love within reach in an era where time seemed immutable, '2046' is about regret, the impossibility of returning and reclaiming what was let go, with the catharsis of artistic creation as the only solace. An ode to heartbreak and loneliness as melancholic as it is visually extravagant."
