What critics compared Millennium Mambo to
Is it an inability to jibe with this new maturity—I have been a son, after all, while I have not been a father—or the old story of the auteurist enthusiast thrown the moment that their favorite varies from an accustomed formula, which I can well remember coloring the receptions of such films as Hou Hsiao-hsien’s Millennium Mambo (2001), Claire Denis’s Trouble Every Day (2001), and Tsai Ming-liang’s The Wayward Cloud (2005)?
Like Hou Hsiao-Hsien�s Millennium Mambo, Marie Antoinette creates biography as much through its soundtrack, attitudes and its close-ups as it does through its action and dialogue.
