I like Won Kar Wai movies so I like the lush and languid visuality of this one. It's the first time I've seen this director's work. I agree, it is incredibly beautiful, but I'm impatient with a scene that drags on forever, even when it's of that incredibly sexy youngest sister. A whole scene with her just dancing? Why? The camera does love her, and especially her face and glowing skin. Why not a scene with her young lover showing the action that made her think she was pregnant? Would that be too much to ask, too Hollywood?
I know many will shudder, but it's best to watch this movie with Tivo. Then you can fast forward through the girl talk and focus on the visuals, the youngest sister, and her incestuous longing for her brother. That's the part I found fascinating and weird.
