DAYS film still

One of the great star-director collaborations in screen history—filmmaker Tsai Ming-liang (Stray Dogs, Goodbye Dragon Inn, The Hole) and his muse Lee Kang-sheng—continues in this exquisite new work. Boasting Tsai's signature long takes, lack of action, and extended silences (the movie has no subtitles because none are needed), Days focuses on two men of different stations in life. One (Lee) is a lonely, middle-aged, Chinese home owner suffering from chronic headaches and neck pains. The other is a poor, young, Laotian immigrant who cooks, lives in an apartment, and gives soothing full body massages. One day the two meet by chance and make a profound human connection. "Pure rapture. A full body massage for the soul." –Film Comment. 100% critics rating on Rotten Tomatoes (as of 6/12). Cleveland premiere. DCP. 127 min.

Special admission $11; members, CIA & CSU I.D. holders, and those age 25 & under $8. No passes or twofers.

Covid safety protocols. Though Governor DeWine has lifted many Covid restrictions throughout the state, the Cleveland Institute of Art is currently keeping its precautions in place and is assiduously enforcing them. Masks must be worn at all times. Temperatures will be checked upon entering the building. Wristbands will be handed out by security and must be worn while in the building. Social distancing will be maintained in the lobby, restrooms, and theater. In the auditorium, there will be one-way traffic flow and seating will be spaced out, with certain seats and rows blocked off. Sanitation/sterilization stations will dot the premises.

Boxoffice and building. Though we will continue to accept both cash and credit cards at the boxoffice, you will notice other temporary changes to our operation. There will be no access to CIA's upper floors (including vending machines), nor to the ground floor beyond the theater and lobby. Our community candy dish will be put away. The Annex parking lot will be closed, so park for free in Lot 73 (off E. 117th St. south of Euclid) and enter the building through Entrance C (the only entry door that will be open) off Lot 73.
