I've never liked art house all that much. For me its akin to taking more interest in the wrapping at the expense of whats actually in the box.
Personal introspective with a art house meets martial arts make over The Empty Hands reaffirms that reservation. Its a visually interesting film helped in in no small part, by a decent cast and story.
What muddies the waters is the obsessive use of visuals as the film draws to its conclusion. The result is a diffuse experience that leaves the viewer feeling like they have been handed a road map whilst standing in the middle of a desert.
Suffice to say, sometimes a picture is "not" worth a thousand words. 5/10 from me.
