Chinese director Hou Hsiao-Hsien's homage to the Japanese master Yasujiro Ozu has the themes of Ozu but the style is his alone. The story of young woman and her relationship with her environment is the focus of the film. Hsien pays as much attention to the characters as he does to the city of Tokyo with one of the most intimate looks on the city ever captured in a feature film. Flawless cinematography, editing and sound design make this film quite exceptional and refreshingly real. YRCinema's coverage of films on DVD.
