The River was probably the second Tsai Ming-Liang film I watched (The first could have been Vive L'Amour. I caught it in a fully packed screening at the Majestic cinema during the Singapore International Film Festival. Back then, I really got into films by Chinese indie filmmakers like Tsai, Fruit Chan and Lin Cheng-Sheng. I'm not sure if I'd dig a film like this as much these days where I'm more into commercial fare, but these was one of those films that got me excited about cinema in my early days of being a film enthusiast.
