“2046” is a film directed by Wong Kar-wai. It is generally considered to be the sequel to Wong’s previous films “In the Mood for Love” and “Days of Wild”. The story tells that writer Zhou Muyun (played by Tony Leung) who lives in Room 2047 of the Oriental Hotel meets several women living in Room 2046, including Bai Ling (played by Zhang Ziyi) and Wang Jingwen (played by Faye Wong). “2046” and “2047” were written as two fantasy stories. This film was selected for competition at the 57th Cannes Film Festival.
Part of the film’s plot was inspired by Liu Yichang’s novel “The Drunkard”.
