If you loved Flores de Shanghai, try Tiempos de Amor, Juventud y Libertad
Un puente entre una película que ya has visto y una que casi nadie ha cruzado. Esto es lo que comparten, y lo que la segunda hace que la primera no hace.
Lo que comparten
Both films are directed by Hou Hsiao-hsien, and they both carry the bittersweet, slow burn, tender mood tags, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Flores de Shanghai, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Tiempos de Amor, Juventud y Libertad is
Hou Hsiao-hsien seemingly enjoys a romantic challenge. The film presents three separate love stories set in Taiwan across 1966, 1911, and 2005. It is a handsome triptych, to be sure.
