The film is episodic and often veers into hit-or-miss flights of fancy.

Despite Wang’s habit of casual stylistic quotation (riffing on Ingmar Bergman’s compressed close-ups here, Wes Anderson’s whip pans there), A Bread Factory remains stubbornly its own thing.

Part One, subtitled For the Sake of Gold, is original and intriguing.
