Synopsis

Tsai Ming-Liang is undoubtedly one of the most important filmmakers of the moment. His movies are an absolute gold standard thanks to his ability to observe the world transversally, and his mastery of the passage of time as he cleverly produces poetry out of frames and complete disquisitions based on silences. On the occasion of the premiere of his latest short film, The Night, the D’A is taking a look at the director’s most unknown facet, screening it along with three other short pieces from his filmography and which offer us a unique opportunity to fill in all the gaps. Session with English subtitles.
