Taiwanese titillation flick featurings watermelon as a metaphor.

Features the most explicit use of a watermelon ever filmed.
11/16/07
So extravagantly, hilariously rude as to be almost indescribable.

It may be slow as a snail, but it leaves a trail.
11/15/07
Characters make love, make meals, make conversation – though not much – and in moments of transcendence remake the world according to their fantasies and longings.
11/15/07
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.
11/15/07
Director Tsai Ming-liang's film harks back to more innocent times when screen romance didn’t involve a money shot.
11/14/07
A highly idiosyncratic semi-musical.

The film’s meandering, surrealist-kissed, early scenes dance nicely in time with his urban protagonist’s disconnected, existential malaise.
11/14/07
More high-end arthouse fare from an ever-burgeoning Chinese-language film scene.
