 CODE 46 - DVD
The slipperiness of language and symbol becomes the ineffable backbone of Code 46, the title itself suggesting a combination of word and number meaningless but for the sense of mystery that is signifies, with the promise of the film thus acting as a Rosetta stone.
Code 46 doesn't, however, provide any easy answers to the problem of how language itself is, as William S. Burroughs once suggested, a virus that lives in uneasy symbiosis with humanity, offering up a multitude of sense reaction and academic readings without itself being anything other than a series of noises and gestures.
Code 46 seems to resign itself to suggesting that the key to the puzzle lies in the audience's own experience of the mystery; William falling for Maria to a techno hallucination makes a tactile sense.

Code 46, however, is not a film overly concerned with plot.
He can seemingly read people's minds when given just the slightest bit of information, though we're initially left unsure whether it's an innate ability or an artificial enhancement (although this is a science fiction film, so we have a pretty good idea).
But Code 46 is more of a sci-fi Wings of Desire than a Blade Runner retread.

 Michael Winterbottom on "Code 46"; Typical Love Story In an Atypical World
"Code 46" is set in the near future, when the world is divided into megacities and desert slums, and travelers need special papelles (like passports or visas) to travel between cities.
Winterbottom: Yes, there is. Particularly on "Code 46." Because Andrew and I were off making "In This World," about two refugees, we got this idea of people having no papers and trying to travel from one place to another and the problems that creates.
Even though "Code 46" is set in the future it's still the same idea, the heart of it is the love story.

 slant // magazine.com: DVD Review - Code 46
The titular code is one regulatory law among many, a sort of check on procreation: if two persons, like William and Maria, share similar genetic codes then they cannot be lovers.
Certainly this proves that Samantha Morton was born to be photographed and it's heartening that Winterbottom expands on the punk-rock Joan of Arc spiritual mythology of the actress's work with directors Steven Spielberg (Minority Report) and Jim Sheridan (In America), beautifully shaping the final performance of a cinematic holy trinity.
Indeed, in Code 46's glorious climactic sex scene—a single-shot pieta/crucifixion combination that illustrates and reconciles Einstein's statement that "science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind"—Morton becomes both lover and mother, the Magdalene and the Virgin melded in euphoric flesh.

 Code 46 (2003)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
"Code 46" is all about a married with child investigator, Robbins, in a futuristic world where people are cloned creating the potential for accidental inbreeding which would violate a statute called Code 46; hence, the film's title.
As this plodding, plaintive, moody film noir digs into its story, Robbins falls for Morton with whom he has Code 46 issues which creates the conflict at the center of the plot.
It is tedious, full of time wasting filler, and, worst of all, not particularly engaging or provocative with an unsatisfying conclusion.

 Code 46 DVD review from BBCi
British director Michael Winterbottom explores the implications of genetic engineering in the "engaging" futuristic romance Code 46, starring Tim Robbins and Samantha Morton.
Its loose story structure inevitably divided critics and moviegoers, but by tapping into issues of cloning and embryo splitting, this film may yet prove to be frighteningly relevant.
Disappointingly Winterbottom doesn't give a commentary and while Inside Code 46 efficiently dissects the story and its themes, it only briefly touches upon the logistics of filming guerrilla-style in Shanghai.
