I'm not sure what to say about these films. They are unusual but they seem significant. Mostly I just think that they are kind of great. They aren't comedies but they aren't, uh, not comedies either. Tsai Ming-Liang has a way of combining delicate contemplative style with the absurd in a pretty fantastic way. It took me nearly 2 months to decide that I liked What Time is it There? but now I'm sure that I like it. There is an appearance from Jean-Pierre Leaud in it, trying to pick up a girl in a cemetary. The Hole is a musical splashed with science fiction, but somehow still beautiful and subtle. You should watch them.
