Wong Kar-Wai working the same nerve twice
The difference: Easier on the ideas than 2046

Contemplative where it counts, romantic underneath

Both land tenderness and wistfulness at once
The difference: The scrappier of the two with critics

Drama with a pulse of ideas, in both cases

Both are built on the same subject: android

Contemplative romance, and it commits to that

Cerebral science fiction in both cases

Wong Kar-Wai directing both, with the same fingerprints on each
The difference: Sits closer to crime than 2046 does

Drama built on romance, twice over

One thread runs through both: murder

Both lean on tenderness more than on romance

Science fiction built on wistfulness, twice over
