I just got the bitchiest rant on my wall about this. Please don't read what I said out of context; I was simply implying that I don't feel like my tastes for arthouse films are as strong as other MUBI users here. Yeesh.

Love this much more than the other Tsai movies Ive seen. Love the musical numbers!

It's films like these whose popularity with the MUBI crowd forces me to reevaluate the credibility of my own taste. Not a bad movie by any stretch, but "greatest musical ever"? Say whaaaa?

Wonderful and strangely touching film with some strikingly beautiful images in a disgusting and damp apartment complex. The musical numbers seem out of context at first but they start to make sense and grow on you as the film goes on.

It's a lot like his later "Wayward Cloud" (2004), but without the melons and the porn (but with the central theme of "water"). Long takes with lots of stuff to look at, absurd realism situations and the funny musical numbers may make some people hate the film. But it is really very enjoyable.

I wholeheartedly agree with MTeller. Something about this particular work seems so surrealistic yet clouded in realism. A Professor of mine back in undergrad put it best, in that it almost seems like Sci-Fi in its other-worldly presence.
