goodness gracious; i certainly need to watch more of hou’s oeuvre that isn’t the assassin!
this pulls you in instantly and immerses you into two separate, but not altogether different cityscapes. the characters are charming, flawed, and ceaselessly fun to watch.
the main character has two distinct transformations, each recontextualizing his mannerisms from before.
the classical score that backs the film is almost too much, but it mostly works. most notable for me is probably the framing; beautiful and observant
