“Sublime suspension.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eA very satisfying affair: hereu0026#39;s the first project where Kar-Wai Wong found his groove with the Spanish notion of metastory, the story about how one hesitates in resolving what they see in life. And how that is a matter of touch. And how touch is word and how one can touch and speak with the eye.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe first project with Doyle. And with Maggie. In a way, the first version of u0026quot;Mood/2046.u0026quot; I think no one understands cinematically suspended longing like this man. When you enter this, you enter a space where everything is connected, every connection is passionately loaded and seen. But there is no logic, no comprehension, no future. Ever.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIts anti-love but fulfilling nonetheless. Its empty in a rich way. Its about created selves in the French New Wave sense, but those selves then being honestly inhabited.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIf you love, really love, it has to rest on the earth in some way.

There are several metaphors in the story along these lines.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eWe may not have the courage to love in this way even if we are among the few who chance love at all. But it is a rather sublime visit, this.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eTedu0026#39;s Evaluation — 3 of 3: Worth watching.”
