Subtle and minimalistic. The film simply speaks without words. There are probably less than 8 lines of script in the entire film, some lines being one or two words, and that's part of what makes this film so special. Tsai has a knack for setting the camera down in all the right places in this dingy, dark theater of a setting. The night of emptiness among a handful of characters somehow kept me engaged until the very end. Not to say that I was patient throughout the whole thing. There are several sequences where literally nothing happens. When I was watching the DVD, my girlfriend came into the room and asked, "why are you staring at a paused screen?" That gives you an idea of some stretches in the film. But overall, this is a cinematic work of art. Definitely a film I'd consider re-watchable.
