    One thing is for certain about the genre-defying cinematic oeuvre of Tsui Hark: it has energy. After all, you don’t feel invigorated by the violent nihilism of Dangerous Encounters of the First Kind, the madcap action comedy of Peking Opera Blues, or the martial arts madness of Once Upon a Time in China and its sequels, you must be sleepwalking through life, or at the very least cinema.

    Something happened to Wes Anderson. Twenty years ago, he was the new auteur on the block. With indie hits like Bottle Rocket, Rushmore, and The Royal Tenenbaums, he established a distinctive style, one of charming, well-written, complex characters; whimsical and dogmatically stylized compositions; unique color palettes; and witty scripts crackling with dry humor. He has beyond a doubt the most recognizable aesthetic style in contemporary cinema. But lately, his work has fallen off — at least for me.
