11/12/2011 Yang envisions Taipei this time as a perfectly spherical onion with all of its layers, the bad smell of crime and insecurity, the tears in the characters, the multiracial collage it forms and the background of each individual finding its course interrupted by the constant interferences of others. We go deeper, towards the onion's core each minute Yang tells us something, like a rare hybrid between <i>I Vitelloni</i> (1953) and <i>Mean Streets</i> (1973), until the cataclysmic finale. 97/100 See more 05/11/2010 I am not esepcially impressed by this Edward Yang, as you can guess from the storyline from the mood and tone the picture delibrately produce. See more 04/11/2010 Edward Yang's second last work. A movie that Singaporeans are too polite to make ourselves - of foreigners and locals scamming each other at the height of Taiwan's economic boom. See more 11/19/2008 Not necessarily a victorious effort for all the protagonists,the feeling of boredom,reckless rebellion and oh-so comedic attention is what makes us get involved with this mosaic of intertwined events in Taipei.Superb performances from all the cast with Congsheng standing out,Yang is penetrative in the simplicity of the city's natural flow that we almost become part of its heat and bright lights. See more 11/19/2008 Yang captures the spirit of a time of decadence right on. See more 11/12/2008 An exploration off mammon phenomenon in Taiwan (as well as the rest off the world) in mid-90s when there was still a proper Taiwan Cinema (industry) then. Hilarious (sorta black humour) but not that outstanding overall. See more Read all reviews
