A superb portmenteau film, instrumental to the birth of the New Taiwan Cinema. The first two segments entail sublime moments, particularly in the expertly use of score and in the subtle chromatic compositions, the latter thoroughly cinematic and enhanced by the nice soft focus effect. The remaining two are obviously good but slightly less evocative in capturing the memories but very sharp in social criticism. Lovely.
