About Hou Hsiao-hsien

Which one should I watch first: The Puppetmaster, Three Times or Flowers of Shanghai?

    The Puppetmaster, for sure. Among those 3, its the best....or you could watch all 3 in a row.

    I would suggest chronological order. The second segment in 'Three Times' works better if one is familiar with 'Flowers of Shanghai'.
