‘3"L1 tn. 7‘ V THREE TIMES It’s been a long time coming

to Scottish screens but Hou- Hsiao-hsien‘s remarkable

' a movie triptych finally gets an

outing this fortnight. Made up of three different stories. set in 1911. 1966 and 2005. Three Times revolves around the. attempts at love by three couples. all played by the same actors - Shu Oi (pictured) and Chen Kaige. Like Hsiao-hsien's previous films (Cafe Lumiere. Mil/enium Mambo) this is dreamy. experimental. elliptical. challenging and totally unforgettable.
