愛情萬歲 [Ai qing wan sui / Vive L'Amour] (Tsai Ming-liang, 1994)

Mar

24

Flatmates Day

In a black-tiled bathroom, a black dress and black shoes are fitted. DPs: Pen-Jung Liao & Ming-Kuo Lin.

May Lin is a real estate agent who meets up with a man in the bare, too sterile flat she brokers. Another man who took the key of the same dwellings for his own cause, decides to settle in.

 

Over time, the apartment serves not only as the space where events take place, but locks and guides the flatmates through their compulsions.

#Bales2023FilmChallenge March 24: Roommates or flatmates on #FlatmatesDay

May Lin (楊貴媚 / Kuei-Mei Yang) is a real estate agent who meets up with a man (陳昭榮 / Chao-jung Chen) in the bare, too sterile flat she brokers. Another man, Hsiao-kang (李康生 / Kang-sheng Lee) who took the key of the same dwellings for his own cause, decides to settle in. In 蔡明亮 / Ming-liang Tsai's 愛情萬歲 [Ai qing wan sui / Vive L'Amour] (TW, 1994) the apartment serves not only as a space where events take place, but locks and guides the flatmates through their impulses.
