HHH: Three Times (Screen Daily review)

Postby dleedlee » Fri May 20, 2005 6:50 pm

Hou Hsiao Hsian's latest film (with Shu Qi and Chang Chen) is reviewed from Cannes here.
(The link expires after a week or so.)


Taiwanese director Hou Hsiao-Hsien is in the mood for love with Three Times, a tryptich of romantic stories in which the same actors (Shu Qi and Chang Chen) play different characters in 1966, 1911 and the present day. An ambitious notion results in a slight, wisp of a film that is long on delicate charm but short on substance. The three stories are also self-contained items rather than the kind of narrative exercise that leads the viewer to look for connections and parallels....
