I doubt I was the intended audience for this art house movie masquerading as a pink movie. There is plenty of weirdness. The musical numbers are downright bizarre, and that is good. Bizarre is always a good thing to find in a movie, but it is bookended by these incredibly long scenes of wandering around aimlessly, which I think is the goal of the movie, much like the other Tsai Ming-Liang movie I saw, "Help Me Eros": to paint this stark empty portrait of life. While it works well for the art house crowd, I'm more the exploitation grind crowd, and frankly the wacky sex scenes and strange musical numbers aren't enough to make the long stretches of nothing bearable. | | LOG IN TO COMMENT ON THIS REVIEW! |

This is the most surprising film I've seen in years. I'm someone who feels like everything that comes out these days is clichéd and obvious; leave it to Tsai Ming Liang. It's films like this that make me remember why I love cinema. As both an original piece and a pseudo-sequel to all the director's previous films, "The Wayward Cloud" can be enjoyed by viewers new to Liang's work and old fans alike. But it's not for everybody, especially given its rather colorful subject matter. But if you have patience and an open-mind, be prepared to be stunned. This is a wonderful film. | | LOG IN TO COMMENT ON THIS REVIEW! |
