In this beautifully made tale of love and loss, a writer embarks on a series of relationships with women. He writes of a fictional 2046, a place where people go to relive old memories from which no-one has ever returned. Is it the future? Or his own past?

Shot in burnished colours (again by Chris Doyle) this is an atmospheric 60’s mood piece. Set principally in the rooms and corridors of an apartment block, it’s the story of one man’s gradual realisation of his own limitations and the relationships that litter his past.

Five years in the making and with a cast of the leading lights in Asian cinema, this is a provocative, singular work from a genuine auteur.
