Through scenes of everyday life, director HOU Hsiao-Hsien effortlessly illustrates the interactions and inner feelings of the male and female leads. Despite adopting the form and style of a mainstream film, HOU employs a narrative approach that nonetheless offers a true reflection of the society of the time.
