Audience Member Brilliantly acted and shot first and, to some extent, second parts were ruined by the stagnant third story. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member Three stories set in three times, 1911, 1966 and 2005. Two actors play the two main characters in each story. All of them sat in Thailand. This is not the easiest film to rate. It looks swell, and my first encounter with director Hsiao-hsien Hou makes me want to check out more of his films. With that said, this is a varied film that I would like to split up in it's three parts. The first part is superb. It looks great, the story and the pace is splendid and it got me really triggered for the rest. The second part is rather boring. It's sat in 1911 and a nice touch is to make it muted only supported by text, music and colors. The final part is all right. It's a bit more exciting, but still very suble and quite dark. It looks good and it's OK acted. In total I must say that this is a cool idea with OK execution. Part one is fantastic but other parts of the film are straight up boring and hard to follow. 6.5 out of 10 pool games. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Audience Member Amazing. The cinematography of Hou Hsiao-hsien once again embellishes the already beautiful film, like a chocolate syrup-coated cherry topping. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review Audience Member Simplicity In It's Best Form ... Another Underrated Picture ... Another Great Director ... About Love, Freedom & Youth We Talking Here . Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Audience Member Beautiful cinematography and acting but I have to admit that I only connected with the first segment Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member this is one of those art house movies that people would cite as the reason they hate these kinds of films. there's a lot of open space, it's quaint, subdued and quiet, and it operates at a deliberately slow pace. i'll admit it lost me at ties especially in the 1911 segment but you can't deny its exquisiteness and subtlety. its pace eventually gets hypnotically rhythmic particularly in the first segment which stands on its own as a wonderful short film. try this one out Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Read all reviews
