I just had to put up this picture from Wong Kar-Wai's new film 2046, soon to premiere at Cannes. It's probably one of the most anticipated films ever, and no one knows if it will be a masterpiece or a disaster. It will certainly be beautiful though. (That's Chinese pop-star Faye Wong in the picture--she is also in Wong's Chungking Express. I just bought one of her albums so I will let you know if it's good! I have an mp3 and she has a great voice. Mandarin Chinese is a beautiful language to hear, unlike Japanese, which can sound a bit rough.)
It's also worth noting that 2046 is a sequel of sorts to the great great In the Mood for Love, probably one of my top 5 films ever.
