But then for this reader, Tsai Ming-Liang cen do no wrong. <BR/><BR/>Night time journey through a city, in the capable hand of a driver I trust. Not going anywhere in particular, just enjoying the ride, and the music, and not talking. (This, I have to admit, is my ultimate non-sexual fantasy - and that it is brought to life in such esteemed films is a source of unending gratitude).Matt Rivierahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03856241078630118517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28006784.post-24932255367879979432008-04-28T08:50:00.000-04:002008-04-28T08:50:00.000-04:00No, I haven't - but I just added it to my Netflix ...No, I haven't - but I just added it to my Netflix queue! <BR/><BR/>I don't know what happened with the stills here; I can't seem to get them to be bigger, which is a shame because I think this might be his Weerasethakul's most visually striking film.
