Cannot remember screening a film that managed to be so incredibly slow, incoherent, and boring but at the same time manages to offend its audience. Director Tsai somehow pulled it off.
Funny, I checked the spoiler box because I was including a description of a scene from the film but could revealing ANY scene in "Wayward Cloud" be considered a SPOILER? Would one really be giving anything away?
There's really no point in detailing what there was of a plot. Suffice it to say that the theme of "isolation" runs throughout. One of the ways Tsai makes his point is by showing a pornographic film crew shooting a sex scene with an actress that is dead. That's right, folks...necrophilia is BACK!
Here's a tip: any time a film starts off with a three minute plus scene where the camera doesn't move, just leave the theater immediately and save yourself two hours of being bored and annoyed.
