CGiii Comment
Tsai Ming-liang is known for his minimalist style - this film stretches that style to the absolute agonising extreme.
There is little dialogue and when it is delivered, it really is not worth the wait.
The film demands too much from the viewer and the rewards are as satisfying as receiving the booby prize at a shit-throwing competition.
Too fucking arty to be taken seriously.

Too f&*king arty to be taken seriously.
And, where is the comedy?
Trailer...
The(ir) Blurb...
A Japanese tourist takes refuge from a rainstorm inside a once-popular movie theater, a decrepit old barn of a cinema that is screening a martial arts classic, King Hu's 1966 "Dragon Inn." Even with the rain bucketing down outside, it doesn't pull much of an audience -- and some of those who have turned up are less interested in the movie than in the possibility of meeting a stranger in the dark.
