If you have struggled with loneliness at some point in your life (that implies everyone), you'll emotionally connect with this film from the start. Especially the moment where Chen Chao-jung touches Yang Kuei-Mei's semi-naked body... So beautiful and profound.

I watched it in the morning and it got stucked on my mind all day.

Devastating. A rewarding reflection of sexuality and voyerism. Regarding comments on CCC/Slow Cinema Vive.. represents a film where less is more and bordeom never raises it's ugly head. There is so much happening in every shot and like many of Tsai's films there are some really nice comic touches throughout.

It's one of the most heartbreaking films I've ever watch. It felt tremendously personal for me: this thirst for companionship and this self-awareness of one's alienation and the fact that you are truly alone in this world. I see myself in the last shot, also crying of how lonely it is to live alone.

One of the most beautiful and/or heartbreaking threesomes in cinema history.

I think the very last, much-touted scene is pretty bad and overstating the point, but I like the idea and balls of taking it as far as he did concerning the length of the take; letting it run on for over 6 minutes also allowed the viewer to forget the rather too-neat nature of the scene and it sorta took on a new, odd effect just by the sheer length of it. Anyways, I love this film.

I'm pretty sure both her, and the man with the newspaper, looked into the camera in the last scene. Did you notice this?

The futility of looking for your place in the world. "Everyone has to move."

THAT was a good freaking movie. I was smiling throughout (of course, until the very last heartbreaking scene). If the rest of Tsai's filmography is as strong as this one... Savvy

If one film were to be selected to represent everything I love about cinema my answer would probably be Vive l'Amour. Tsai's minimalistic chef-d'oeuvre of loneliness is beyond words, literally.
