Afternoon (Na ri xia wu) (NR)

synopsis

The shared filmography of Taiwanese director Tsai Ming-liang and actor Lee Kang-sheng represents one of the great collaborations in cinema history. From his 1992 debut Rebels of the Neon God to his recent masterpiece Stray Dogs, Tsai has not made a single feature without Lee and he has no plans to. An extremely personal film from this most personal of filmmakers, Afternoon traverses the breadth and depth of the two friends' creative relationship over the course of a single wide-ranging conversation.
