Juicy surrealist film.

Ozus' World Movie Reviews

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

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.

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.

one can't help but think that this is the first time that Ming-liang has let his daydream get away from him.

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

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

Tsai's emptied-out aesthetic has never felt so empty, his mannerisms so pointlessly mannered.

The Wayward Cloud is indeed a unique experience... sometimes shocking and often funny.

A witty, insightful and typically idiosyncratic continuation of Tsai’s earlier features.

As the title implies, watching the film is an experience that’s rather directionless.
