Critic Reviews for The Wasted Times (Luomandike Xiaowang Shi)
All Critics (5) | Top Critics (2) | Fresh (1) | Rotten (4)
"The Wasted Times" plays like a movie carved out of a much larger mini-series, whose segments are then shown out of order.
The majority of the characters murder or are murdered in short order, so finding someone to root for or a storyline to follow in this strangely empty Shanghai (even the train station looks abandoned) is difficult.
While The Wasted Times is not quite the ordeal its title may suggest, it nevertheless makes for convoluted, impenetrable viewing.
Perhaps an English-language film in this style would have seemed overly derivative. In a Chinese work, it still feels fresh and intriguing.
Shanghai gangsters and lovers struggle through the Japanese occupation during World War II in an art-house misfire.
