Wong Kar-wai in Slate Magazine

Even though the guys at "Slate" have a more sober attitude towards Wong's latest films in particular than I have (Mood for Love, 2046 being repetitive efforts - yes, we knew that, but that was somehow the point, was it not?), they still have the fair point that currently it looks as if this without doubt visionary and visually inspiring director is somehow stalled.

However, following his contemplating characters dream around for a while is still among the better movie experiences in any case.
