Say what you want, even if the film doesn't have enough "happening" for you (like, almost no dialogue) - Tsai's shots are so well composed. Really tight.

For a film that slow, the scenes are always kept interesting. You just observe people very closely, sometimes to hilarious effect (the feet!). With all the minimalist Asian arthouse directors, this makes me think of a Taiwanese take on Roy Andersson, if you get the idea. Although with very own qualities.
No favorite of mine, enough which I just have to respect though.
