Taiwanese titillation flick featurings watermelon as a metaphor.

| Original Score: 4/4 | Jun 8, 2008

A curiously-compelling and impossible to pigeonhole romantic romp which blurs the line between pornography and legit cinema in magnificent fashion.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Nov 16, 2007

It may be slow as a snail, but it leaves a trail.

Full Review | Original Score: 4/5 | Nov 15, 2007

Characters make love, make meals, make conversation - though not much - and in moments of transcendence remake the world according to their fantasies and longings.

The madcap finale to a loose trilogy from Taiwanese director Tsi Ming-Liang, and whilst emphatically not to all tastes, fans of the obscene, the experimental and the outrageous should make every effort to get along.

A highly idiosyncratic semi-musical.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 14, 2007

| Original Score: 4/6 | Nov 14, 2007

More high-end arthouse fare from an ever-burgeoning Chinese-language film scene.

Full Review | Original Score: 3.5/5 | Nov 14, 2007

Tsai's bittersweet musical comedy of frustration, fruit and fellatio may be dry, but it drips with melon-choly.

The Wayward Cloud offers one plausible moral: If life hands you watermelons, make love to them.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5 | Feb 23, 2007

The Taiwanese sex musical The Way ward Cloud is notable for its bizarre uses of watermelons. I won't give you the details because my editor would just cut them out.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Feb 23, 2007

Straddles that fine line between Chinese art film and Asian porn.

| Original Score: 6/10 | Feb 22, 2007

Tsai uses the vernacular of pornography against itself: every image is empty, obvious, posed.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Feb 21, 2007
