Chow Mo Wan is a man whose painful past has left him wary of love.

Set in the 1960s and following on from Wong Kar-Wai's passionate but ephemeral ‘In The Mood For Love', 2046 is a ravishing tale of lo find out more...

Amorality and moral strength are at play here, and the script was written with dramatic turns akin to the find out more...
