Our take

Forming a loose trilogy with Days of Being Wild and In the Mood for Love, Wong Kar Wai’s series of romantic dramas culminates in this sweeping, time-traveling epic. A film of ravishing visual grandeur and incredible ambition, 2046 offers a wistfully bittersweet look at love and loneliness.
