Wong is a favorite of mine as well. Glad you know and admire 2046, which I thought was terribly underrated. Because of Crouching Tiger, I had an irrational dislike of Zhang Ziyi as well, but she has won me over many times since then in The Road Home, Hero, 2046, Forever Enthralled.

Haha. Now unfortunately Mysterious Skin is the only Araki film I've actually seen. I
think I liked it. Maybe. I actually never really formed an opinion on it. Might need to go back.
And looking at his filmography, I have a lot of catching up to do. Delving into a new director isn't something I've had the pleasure of doing for a long while, so thanks for the recommendations.
2046 is possibly my favourite movie of all time. Glad to see it has another fan here, as it does seem to be a select taste (I've just given up on recommending it to friends). Zhang Ziyi was probably my least favourite of the women in it. Something about her screen presence just puts me off for absolutely no good reason. But she's a damn good actress whether I like it or not. I should try and watch The Road Home, as I'm a big fan of Zhang Yimou's non-martial-arts stuff.
