Cleveland revival premiere!
AI GING WAN SUI
Taiwan
| 1994 | Tsai Ming-liang
The sophomore feature by the director of The Hole and Goodbye, Dragon Inn won the top prize at the Venice Film Festival, cementing Tsai’s int’l reputation. Evoking Antonioni in its wordless formal elegance, the movie is a deadpan, erotic comedy in which three lonely Taipei residents—a funeral salesperson (Lee Kang-sheng), a real estate agent, and a street vendor who is one of her lovers—use the same empty high-rise apartment for their own sexual/recreational escapades, unbeknownst to some of the others. (The three cross paths in a series of precisely staged almost-encounters.) Despite their physical proximity, they’re no closer to a personal connection. “Tsai stages the trio’s erotic comings and goings with an incremental screwball precision, as if Jacques Tati had given free rein to his sexual fantasies.” –The New Yorker. Cleveland revival premiere. Subtitles. Restored DCP. 118 min.
