I absolutely loved this film!
Difficult to describe, but like a cross between AMELIE (France) (without the super expensive CGI), TASTE OF TEA (Japan) and perhaps a bit of CHUNGKING EXPRESS (Hong Kong) (with quieter cinematography instead of Chris Doyle's kinetic style.)
So visually rich it can even be enjoyed without subtitles, although what it has to say is important.
I can't wait to see this director's other films: TEARS OF THE BLACK TIGER, and particularly THE UNSEEABLE, a supernatural horror that is getting rave reviews.
This film was shot on HIGH-DEF, yet looks better that most American films shot on 35mm.
It just goes to show that it is not budget that determines a great film, but TALENT, HEART and VISION.
