Plot
Various Taipei residents are linked by a mysterious phone call.
Sinekatalog’s take
Edward Yang's sharp Taipei mosaic links strangers through a prank phone call and a photograph. Cool, ambiguous and modern, with intertwining stories, it is a landmark of Taiwanese New Wave and urban alienation.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
