Hou Hsiao-hsien's majestic tripartite drama received near-universal acclaim      from critics. Set in 1966, 1911, and 2005, the three tales unfold at a pool      hall, a brothel, and in modern Tapei, and explore themes of romantic desire      and nostalgia for youth. Languidly paced, dramatically understated, and        communicated with very litle dialogue, Hou's film is "Wise and heartbreaking.  One of the great films of the year" (Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times).    With Qi Shu, Chen Chang, Fang Mei, Su-jen Liao, and Mei Di. In Mandarin and      Taiwanese with English subtitles.                                              Hou Hsiao-hsien---Taiwan/France---2005---135 mins.
