  I remember, negatively only, that those were different.
  Thanks to all who tried to help... I think the guy recommended Japanese films, or Chinese (well, THAT narrows it down, sorry).

  by Shinji Aoyama is a marathon at 3.5hrs but well worth the trip, IMHO.
  Avoid his Desert Moon though which is meandering and gets lost.

  Hynotically paced story of a young girl set ten years ago in 2001. Narrated by her and accompanied by an excellent soundtrack of modern "toned down" club music. Hsao had initially planned for it to be a six hour project but cut it to two hours--I could have watched six hours easy.

    Yeah, I liked this a lot. The ending scene was sort of mesmerizing to me with those birds flying in the snow covered street.

    Plus I really dig Shu Qi!

      With the narration. AAMOF, I fell in love with that cut and searched for the soundtrack. The only place I could find it was from a dude in France via Ebay! Took nearly two weeks to get here.

          ...maybe there's different needs also, when viewing a film, depending on many things at the time?
          When a day's has been intelkchewly 'rude', j'aime bien des film which just carry me away, visually, musically if necessary.
          This was one.

  ... You could go to for a general search by genre. Also, try looking at the Criterion collection for classics by Kurosawa (Ikuru & Seven Samurai), and great films by many others.
