If you loved Café Lumière, try Three Times
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Both films are directed by Hou Hsiao-hsien, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Café Lumière, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Three Times 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.
