Abstract

Tsai Ming Liang has developed a signature movie style. His movies are repetitive in the extreme, lack character development, are mostly mute with the least amount of human verbal interaction possible. In my reading, I've found the most illuminating depictions of the effects of a Tsai Ming Liang movie from music critics.
