...opinions expressed look upon Professor Murray's coming here as a definite step in intellectual progress. Unanimous comment has also been made on the fact that the word poetry in connection with this professorship is to be taken in its broadest sense and is to include poetic expression, not only in language, but in music and the fine arts...
...hero spies a group of young women around the resort and has his fancy drift from one to the other. Who will the young man choose and will she reciprocate? This, the strongest "plot" of the series so far, provides the narrative thread that Proust then strings his poetic pearls along. In a medium where plot traditionally comes first, it's hard to believe that a comic can be about leisurely day trips, conversation, fashion and the politics of class and sex.

...luscious style after a decade in which Zhang flirted with less beguiling visual and narrative strategies. A triumphant return thanks to his work with cinematographer Christopher Doyle, who has shot many of Wong Kar-wai's films. Zhang, of course, controlled the design of Hero, but Doyle's hurtling, poetic personality shines through; you can sense the camera in his hands as surely as you could feel the brush in Jackson Pollock's. He is a calligrapher with light...
