Buckling beneath the weight of its director's ambitions, Yang Chao's "Crosscurrent" is spectacular to look at and a devil to decode.

[T]hough Chao ... may be more interested in aesthetics than dramatic cohesion, the beauty on display carries the viewer through the film from stunning start to evocative ending.

"Crosscurrent" is, definitely, worth a watch, since it is a very beautiful spectacle, but one should bear in mind that it functions more like a collection of images rather than an actual film.

The direction of the journey doesn't match the aimlessness of the movie's central point. It's not a sin to have a movie that doesn't lead anywhere, but Crosscurrents is constantly indicating a direction to follow along to.

Crosscurrent is not for everyone. But patient viewers will be rewarded with a moving journey of two people set adrift in the world.
