Wong Kar-wai's eagerly awaited and critically acclaimed sequel to In the Mood for Love features—like its predecessor—opulent production design, beautiful camera movement, a perfectly chosen soundtrack, and a melancholy mood. Tony Leung reprises his role of Chow Mo Wan, a man living in the mid-1960s who has a number of relationships with a series of gorgeous women while at the same time trying to write a science fiction novel set in the year 2046. The film intercuts Chow's love affairs with scenes from his novel, superbly demonstrating how Chow's life, emotions, memories, and dreams are allegorized in his writing.
