'The Wayward Cloud' (2005) - TSAI Ming-Liang.

The extraordinarily vivid 8th film by febrile, filmmaking iconoclast, TSAI Ming-Liang, 'The Wayward Cloud' (2005) is a fabulously explicit; ferociously free spirited, Fellini-esque eye-popping eruption of exhilaratingly risqué ribaldry, hyperactive, Devo-day-glow romance and spell-binding, exotic beauty! This quite splendidly adrenal-gland galvanizing admixture of thrillingly hyperbolic film prosody and mesmerically inventive visuals is a quixotic, George Kuchar/Busby Berkeley, super-sensual celluloid feast for every avidly awakened molecule in your orgiastically-overloaded body! On the luridly luminous evidence of this truly exquisite work, one can only hope for a hundred more such deliciously deviant, foot-tapping delights from the gorgeously gifted film-fabulist, TSAI Ming-Liang!


'I was taught watermelons are electric!'

'There's something anomalous in my blood-work!'

'At home with Trent Reznor exposes a more fanciful side than one might have imagined' 

'Like lambs to the dragon's mouth!'

'If you guess wrong, lover! I'll feed you a more important organ!' 

'It's orange cone day, wear green cones in your own time!'

'One of the wealthiest men in Asia expresses himself in ways some disdain!' 

'The guy swore it wasn't just another umbrella scheme!'

'I asked the director for a clue about what the film's about and he emailed me this?'
