Audience Member Одна из самых лучших лент Хоу Сяосяня! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Watching "Dust in the wind" is like experiencing life in a place and time most of us wouldn't want to be in. It thoroughly observes what it meant to be in love while growing up in a small mountain town (Jio-fen) in Taiwan. The provincial environment grows so much on you that after the end I had to go out for a walk to shake me out of the stuck up feeling the film induced in me. It works like a powerful drug - calming at first but slowly starts making you feel restless once it takes control... Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Audience Member (****): Thumbs Up A well-acted and intriguing film. Another great film from Hou Hsiao-Hsien film.

In the city, Ying is an apprentice by day and goes to night school, and Huen works as a helper at a tailors. Everyone thinks they are meant for each other, so do they. They fail to see time and fate are beyond their control.[/color][/size][/font] [center][img]http://bp0.blogger.com/_3mCOm4wxK3M/R6oIROTsrUI/AAAAAAAAAFY/4uANVAzaDYM/s320/dust.jpg[/img][/center] [font=Times New Roman][size=4][color=white]What a great movie. Everything from the amazing opening sequence to the subtle finish is just about perfect. Hou does almost everything I loved about the first third of Three Times here. Yet, obviously, it's sustained throughout the entire movie. Let me start by saying that Hou and cinematographer Pin Bing Lee (hopefully I didn't screw that up) make trains and tunnels look about as fascinating as I've ever seen them here.

In some ways, this movie seemed like everything Atonement wanted to be story-wise, only this was done much better character-wise.[/color][/size][/font] Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Audience Member This excellent flick now has a blu-ray: http://www.dvdbeaver.com/film3/blu-ray_reviews52/dust_in_the_wind_blu-ray.htm Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Audience Member Filmed from a detached point of view observing the characters, and without much movement of the camera. Dust in the Wind is quiet, meditative, and beautiful. Fate can derail our plans and beat us down, but there's also warmth here and there from the people we encounter. Our strength ultimately comes from our root, our family. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Read all reviews
