Review of 2046 (2004) by Matta. — 16 Jan 2006
While it's sad seeing such low ratings for such an incredible film, it makes sense. There is not a single false note in this film, and while some would complain about the almost constant voice-over of Chow, it's totally necessary to the overall power of the film.
Wong Kar-Wai doesn't make movies, he writes a short story and translates it to film in a poetic fashion unequalled by his contemporaries. The same is true of Days of Being Wild and In The Mood For Love.
No one else is making movies like this or has ever made movies like this. Best film of the year. All of those giving low points really should just stick to Aeon Flux and Underworld. Leave the good stuff to those of us who can actually interpret and appreciate good filmmaking.
