Viewing Notes
Squeezed in a favorite and one I recently picked up in an Arrow sale. Very happy to own this even if just on DVD. Total comfort film and one that could go on for another hour. Watched a little of the interview with Tsai Ming-liang on how he originally discovered the theater and then used it for his film What Time Is It There? before renting it and making this movie. Still shakes me that this is a 2003 film; really feels more ‘90s.
