It is more amusing to talk about than to experience. Go to Full Review

By the third replay of the same dialogue, you're significantly less enchanted with the material than Hartley apparently is with himself. Go to Full Review

Hartley's three-part anthology, a semi-academic treatise about the limits of narrativity, offers some minor rewards. Go to Full Review

01/13/2015 Hal Hartley's experimental anthology film (which is essentially the same story retold three times with different characters and locations) is a film that succeeds through clever parallels and a histrionic sense, although it's more curious than resounding. See more 09/08/2014 Gave it another look for the first time since the VHS days and I have to say that I still dig Hartley's deadpan characters quite a bit, even if it all does feel very much like a production and not anything one would naturally encounter out there in the real world. Worth a look, examining the death of a relationship from three different perspectives, genders and sexualities. Rental! See more 08/09/2014 I liked how the first two are essentially identical except for sexual orientation, and then the third plays out almost completely differently (though I thought when it began it was going to be an entirely new story and was disappointed when the familiar lines started being spoken). Although I get the feeling that this setup-consolidation-punchline structure was not intentional, I found it interesting nonetheless. See more 04/05/2014 Not my favourite Hal Hartley, but interesting. See more 09/30/2012 Me quedo con la primera historia, bastante notable. Despues, me quede algo frio esperando mas, no es tan gozosa de ver como prometia pero una propuesta que merece la pena tener en cuenta. See more 07/17/2011 Essentially a short movie told 3 times, set in different countries. The English version is great, a Hal Hartley classic. Unfortunately the "foreign" versions of the story were kind of lost on me, especially the Japanese one. See more Read all reviews
