I don't know, it's hard to appreciate it because the VHS rip I had was so bad. As far as I know that's the only available version on the internet. I eventually just gave up on seeing the rest of Yang's filmography in the hope that restored prints might make it to DVD some day

One of those films where I can appreciate the things it does and even the way it does them, but it just fails to resonate with me. This isn't the most marvelously shot film but there is care taken in the way shots are constructed and the atmosphere fits the alienation of the characters very well. The character arcs are pretty easy to follow and well fleshed out. All the elements are there and I can see others loving it but it's a bit too plain and detached for me.

Simply put, this isn't a film. This is a slice of life.
