    This film is the ultimate expression of Cai Mingliang's stylization, which is reflected in the strong and simple tendency of formalization. Every shot is a long shot with a fixed camera position. The composition is strict, the lighting and art are precise, the dialogue is minimized, and even the characters are more abstract than previous works. It was the first time that Tsai Ming-liang left Taipei and went to Paris, France for location shooting. In addition to paying homage to Truffaut's "The...

    A loneliness obsessive-compulsive disorder, Diaosi's unrequited love that is not unrequited love, and the self-performed performance of female Wen Qing's soul. The masturbation of Xiaokang's mother in front of the portrait of Xiaokang's father makes people feel depressing. When the Hong Kong traveler turns her head to the side, the voice of the heroine's heart writhing in pain can be...

    I watched Director Cai's first film, and then my interest in film appreciation began to rise to a new level. I still think this is Cai's most perfect...

    I didn't pay attention to the director before watching it, but I always think of "River" when I watch it. It turned out to be from a director, and I don't like Cai Mingliang very much. ....

    I watched it when I was a young literary and artistic young man, and I fell asleep several times... Now I can only remember that the guy inside peed in the middle of the night and didn't go to the...

    Two cities that don't even match the time are even more desolate when it comes to emotions. The characters in Tsai Ming-liang's films are decisively empty and rich in their hearts. Too rich naturally lacks an outlet for expression to feel empty; in the same messy streets, life is still very...

    There is some kind of connection in the dark, if you look at it from the perspective of a bystander, it can be considered warm. The details are terrible, the cake box thrown away, the protagonist who grew up with 400 hits, the box picked up by his father... The last spinning Ferris wheel, time and space alternate like...

    "What Time Are You Over There": Love is not a matter of one person

    Why does he love her. He couldn't tell himself. He was selling watches at the bridge, and she came to buy the watch. It seemed that he had to look at the piece that he had to wear. His newly deceased father said it was unlucky and refused to sell it. Give her the phone and tell her to arrange the...

    I happened to watch this film late at night with insomnia, so I can better understand the loneliness of everyone in the film. Although people living in modern cities are close to each other, their hearts are far apart, so that strong sense of loneliness becomes everywhere.
        The rhythm of the...
