I quite liked it, but not as much as A Touch of Sin

Lovely until the last chapter, in which Jia falters with the use of English.

didn't bother me much

at least not as much as the way no directors but QT and the Coens seem worthy of a new thread for each film

this was fine, and probably only resonates if you're someone with experience of ESL in the chinese community, and second-generation overseas chinese.

new one is accused of being "greatest hits" by some, i like it fine; wish i hadn't been exhausted.

predictably great and at times transcendent. your man's gun falling out of his pants while dancing to YMCA was 10/10

I like that post from morbs from two years ago, it's painful to think we will never hear from him in the film threads again

All of Jia’s films are worth watching imo. Ash Is Purest White is the one I love the most, but also A Touch of Sin. Still Life was interesting to me, I didn't really get it at the time and want to see it again. Platform, Unknown Pleasures, The World - all great

I've seen five of his films and heard him speak at a retrospective. My favourite was The World, maybe it had a slightly more hopeful air than the others.

Watched A Touch Of Sin tonight and am stilll thinking about it and trying to articulate something more than "it's a grind house version of Ascension. Liked it, did not love it but am willing to change my mind. Mountains May Depart is still the masterpiece.
