Days / Afternoon - Two Films By Tsai Ming-Liang Blu-ray

Tsai Ming-Liang, director of the exquisite Goodbye, Dragon Inn, has emerged as one of the most profound voices in world cinema. Through a magnificent aesthetic devotion, his work explores human passions and existence. This 2-disc Blu-ray Special Edition brings together two of his sublimely contemplative films. Days (2020) is Tsai Ming-Liang's meditation on loneliness, delivered as a series of beautifully composed, delicately colored tableaux. Two men's uneventful lives unfold until their paths finally cross, brought together by loneliness and a need for intimacy. Afternoon (2015) captures a wide-ranging and engrossing conversation between director Tsai and Lee Kang-Sheng, the actor, collaborator, friend, and muse who has appeared in all of Tsai's films, as they reflect on their lives, careers, friendship, and identity.
