30. Hai shang hua a.k.a. Flowers of Shanghai (Hsiao-hsien Hou, 1998) [Taiwan]
This film about the interactions between clients and flower girls in a high-end brothel has quite the luxurious pacing as one would imagine from Hsiao-hsien Hou that suits the material. To be honest though, I really struggled with remaining engaged with this one. The structure just felt a little too loose, the narrative a little too elusive.

31. Chu nu jiang a.k.a. Cannibal Curse (Yeung Kong, 1988) [Hong Kong]
Well, this was awful. i guess it could be entertaining if you get a group of friends together to make fun of it, but then the multiple rape scenes may be a buzzkill anyway.

32. San xia hao ren a.k.a. Still Life (Zhangke Jia, 2006) [China/Hong Kong]
Like Hsiao-hsien Hou, I struggle with Zhangke Jia's films at times. They are generally gorgeously shot and well-acted, but the pacing is just glacial. At times it works, and I'm not against a slower film despite how I may sound (I actually recently watched and enjoyed Apichatpong Weerasethakul's Syndromes and a Century and you don't get much slower than that). But for some reason, there's a narrative aloofness in Still Life that seemed to be at odds with my mood while watching it. Maybe I need to give it another try in a different mindset? I dunno.
