Other than "Center Stage", I have not seen any of those movies. I will have to watch them sometime. Hopefully you're not confusing a later Hollywood film named Center Stage which is not the same one I mentioned. A quick check of my link will verify. Anyway, I will admit that Center Stage is a slow movie, but beautiful and tragic. As for the other films, they're all by Wong Kar-Wai. Best if you go into them knowing you're watching Wong Kar-Wai films. The more you put into them, the more you get out of them. Each requires at least two viewings to get to grips with his themes. Heh, yeah, I didn't look at the links, so I thought you were talking about the 2000 American one. I was also a bit confused why you would include that in this list; seeing you meant the other one makes much more sense. Never saw the American film, which is not related in any way, plot or otherwise, so I won't comment on it. The one I'm talking about stars Maggie Cheung. Please look at the links. I provide them so that people such as yourself can discover entirely new sets of films to explore. I specifically usually don't mention films which the average guy posting here has heard of. But I also don't mention really obscure stuff even though others haven't heard of them. I try to mention films which are highly revered, critically appraised, and just damn great to watch. Many of them are cerebral though. |

Life of Pi is one of them.
Great movie! I'd put it on my personal 'want to watch' list, but I've already seen it! However, I have two other films by Ang Lee listed here. And I still have to add at least one (or more) by him yet. |

We should just take a breather here, and consider Yasujiro Ozu, a director loved by nearly all who watch his films. It's very nearly a transcendental experience one has upon watching two or three of his films. At that point, something happens, everything clicks, and you realize you've discovered a new film grammar, a new way of watching film, and an extraordinarily beautiful set of films to look forward to.
