Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
There is artistry and a fabulous ambiguity coursing through Hou's meditative film.
A ravishing bauble about la dolce vita in Taiwan.
Recalls the unease that crept over the world's youth back at the turn of the last century.
The combination of the thick sensuality of Mark Lee Ping-bing's cinematography and the gradual fascination that Hou's measured rhythms exert keep you watching.
