Some have called "Afternoon" more a "DVD extra" than a real film, but I disagree-like other Tsai films, it establishes its own slow representation of time and the way human interactions and performances play out.

Rated: 2.5/4

Obviously, this is not a film for viewers unfamiliar with Mr. Tsai's work. But its insistently austere format does suggest a purpose beyond its immediate context.

Candid and audaciously minimalist, Afternoon risks self-indulgence, but comes out with insight.

Rated: B+

as yet another piece of longing and resignation, of quiet joy and glorious long takes, it's oddly comforting
