homage to love, passion and his homeland is made up of three separate stories set in three different time periods — 1911, 1966 and 2005. The actors stay the same but everything else changes. Whatever you think of it there is no faulting the writer-director’s message that love, like patriotism, may just be eternal. If you like the cinema of Wong Kai-wai or the slightly more challenging work of Hsaio-hsien himself (Cafe Lumiere, A Time to Live and a Time to Die), then this may be for you.
