I just want to start by saying that I think this is way way more than a film about a couple, it's in reality a film about 3 generations and how they interact with each other in this especific time and in this especific place - Taiwan in a especific situation. The main character represents the past and chin the future, when it's all combined it's just a beautiful and complex story apout Taipei and itss people. Every frame is beautiful just amazing to look at, I don't know how but he just finds new ways of showing scenes that to me revolutionized the way I see and think of scenes. The relationships displayed here are once again a fundamental focus of Yang but the background and the context is what diferenciates him from every other director. He had a vision and a unique way of showing that same vision through film. I feel extremely overwhelmed watching his pictures, they are full of life and awareness and makes me fascinated and intrigued how on earth is it possible to make movies like he does.
