This movie is three independent portraits of eras and different aspects of the human condition. The first is set in 1966 and is a portrait of the search for love. The second takes place in 1911 (despite the product description, this seems like a mansion, not a brothel) and tells the story of the need for freedom from a contract of servitude. The final piece demonstrates the heartbreaks and regrets of youth.
Each portrait is a reasonable attempt to match the style of movies of the ... Read More

I caught this film by chance on the Independent Film Channel. After watching it several times, I finally ordered the DVD. I found the film stunning, haunting, mesmerizing. The director and actors catch the zeitgeist of each period, the relationship of the sexes, the longing, the beauty of love in a way I have never seen in occidental cinema. The East has an esthetic that is probably inaccessible to us westerners. But it is enchanting to be able to enjoy it now and then.

I got this film out of curiosity of good, non commercial Chinese cinema, but it was note quite my cup of tea; it moves extremely slowly, so the plot takes ages to be told. The second story is set in early 1900's and the texts are given as in the earliest movies, by writing them in a cardboard, so the movie is mute and only music is heard. My first attempt to watch this movie a Saturday night was unsuccessful as just starting the second story an extreme sleepiness took over. You must be in an extraordinarily ... Read More

Three Times is not a conventional movie, and I can understand how the slow pacing might alienate some viewers. Art is always subject to interpretation. For those who enjoy films that provoke ideas, introspection and philosophical debate, this is one such film.
Shu Qi and Chang Cheng are the lovers in acclaimed filmmaker Hou Hsiao-hsien's latest work. The film is almost like a non-sci-fi version of The Fountain set instead in three different eras in Taiwan. The actors play three sets of lovers ... Read More
