What Time is it There?

Hmm. Hmm. Don’t rush me! I’m thinkin’!

…[cautiously] I liked this movie very much. There. There’s a thought. Has a real feeling of authenticity and naturalness, not unlike what the Dardennes do, though prettier. The flow & pacing suit the film well — though for my taste, it is a slow film. I like things to happen in my long takes. Or, I’d be more of a psychologist than a behavioralist? This is rather a behavioralist film.

Hmm. Casts a spell not easily shaken, this I have to say. Vacillates between the truly fascinating and the redundantly dull, but throughout it maintains a tone that does cast a spell. This doesn’t affect my rating but I must say it: does everyone confront their loneliness through sex? Is that parallelism or laziness? Oh, it bores me. Eros is sick. Eros is sick.

Weeell. Tsai is quite an interesting filmmaker. This was a very cool mood piece. Looking forward to more, and wondering if I’ll acquire the taste…
