Review of 2046 (2004) by Delphinus C — 12 Jul 2015
(Having not seen the other connected movies, I was missing a lot of the backstory to some of these characters.).
Extremely artsy-fartsy, and not in a good way. Slow, repetitive (sort of the point), not really an "exciting" movie.
Extremely self-indulgent. Some interesting and unusual cinematography, but just as many pointless, blurry shots of nothing.
I found the 10% sci-fi setting far more interesting, and I get than the real world setting is supposed to inform that, but it could have been better balanced, and probably shorter if they both worked together to progress the story. It's also weird that the sci-fi parts are in Japanese for some reason.
Decent dialogue, for what that's worth when the story is so pedestrian. 40 minutes too long.
The score was the most solid thing in this movie.
