I’m sad because I can’t watch this film for the first time again and be massively blown away. Incredibly upsetting that time did not allow for Yang to create more masterpieces following this beast of a beauty. This being his very last, I’m so glad to have experienced it. His use of long shots & takes, coupled with static frames, common to New Taiwanese cinema, do not intrude on the drama within the shot but allows the audience a meditative moment…
