A Taipei wristwatch vendor reluctantly sells his own timepiece to a Paris-bound tourist, creating a distant connection between them, at least as far as the film's structure is concerned. A wry little tale, of uncertain import, but beautifully photographed (by Benoit Delhomme) in scintillating color, with an absolutely stationary camera (not counting three shots inside moving vehicles). Directed by Tsai Ming-liang. (2001) — Duncan Shepherd
