So extravagantly, hilariously rude as to be almost indescribable.

Top CriticIt may be slow as a snail, but it leaves a trail.
11/15/07
Characters make love, make meals, make conversation – though not much – and in moments of transcendence remake the world according to their fantasies and longings.
11/15/07
The madcap finale to a loose trilogy from Taiwanese director Tsi Ming-Liang, and whilst emphatically not to all tastes, fans of the obscene, the experimental and the outrageous should make every effort to get along.

Top CriticDirector Tsai Ming-liang's film harks back to more innocent times when screen romance didn’t involve a money shot.

The film’s meandering, surrealist-kissed, early scenes dance nicely in time with his urban protagonist’s disconnected, existential malaise.
