Movie Reviews

Ozus' World Movie Reviews - 8/10 by Dennis SchwartzAn engaging mixture of bizarre wit and eroticism and heartfelt sadness.
Not Coming to a Theater Near You - 7/10 by Michael NordineWe're all ghosts in Tsai's world, though we may not all know it.
User Review - 10/10 by Steve BOne of my favorite from director Tsai Ming-Liang. Watch for the Yang Kuei-Mei's last scene crying in a Tapei park.
User Review - 10/10 by sabrina iRecalling the work of Antonioni who is clearly an inspiration here, VIVE L'AMOUR is slow but affecting film about three people suffering from loneliness in an urban setting. At times funny and other times sad...the people in this film long for connection and love but are not able to attain it. One of the most interesting aspects of this film is how the woman's apartment looks. It's so bare..there aren't even any bed sheets on the beds. Compared to the crowded city in which she lives, her apartment is empty just like her life. The only visitors she has are her lovers, but no family members...no friends. I wonder what causes people to be so alienated from society? The film simply explores these themes but leaves it up to the viewer to think about what is going on with these characters and how they got to where they are. It relies more on images rather than dialogue. There's barely any dialogue in this film. The last 8 minutes...the camera pans the city and then the woman finally breaks down and cries. In the entire film...she is seen doing everyday chores or walking the streets alone but we aren't aware of her inner torment. Some moments here and there the directors allows us a peak into her state of mind but overall we are kept at a distance till the very end when she breaks down. It's a poignant scene and stays with you. I wouldn't recommend this film to the average viewer but to people looking for an Antonioni-type experience this one is just perfect.
User Review - 10/10 by George BSo I think I should be qualified as a faithful supporter of Tsai since only 3 out of his films that I didn't go to a theater to see. After nearly 16 years, the digital restoration print which just freshly came out of the oven was still very gripping. Even with very little dialogue which it's best known for, it demonstrates how to make the audience focus with the interactions. I'm not a fan of Tsai at all, but I'm now absolutely certain that this is his masterpiece.
User Review - 10/10 by Matt GNearly a universal embodiment of the themes in Tsai's future works. An absolutely mesmerizing final shot.
User Review - 10/10 by Charles FUn Antonioni contemporain, sur le malaise des centres urbains, avec une touche de burlesque.
User Review - 10/10 by Boon AReleased on the same year Wong Kar Wai gave us his romantic vision of loneliness and urban alienation on the city of Hong Kong in Chungking Express, Tsai Miang Liang was at his best here, delivered a similar themed movie but with everything striped raw resulting this voyeuristic vision of 3 vulnerable souls living in Taipei. They crossed paths with aching longing to be emotionally connected but they simply do not know how.
User Review - 10/10 by Geoffroy KJ'ai pris celui-la mais j'aurais aussi bien pu choisir The River ou La-bas quelle heure est-il de Tsai Ming Liang.
User Review - 10/10 by Hari Sa funny, poignant film. tsai ming-liang shows urban alienation in contemporary taipei. he communicates so much with silence.
