ABOUT THE FILM: Hou Hsiao-Hsien’s stylish and seductive submersion into the techno-scored neon nightlife of Taipei, stars Shu Qi (THE ASSASSIN) as an aimless bar hostess drifting away from her boyfriend, and towards Jack Kao’s suave, sensitive gangster. Structured as a flashback, it’s a transfixing movie, drenched in club lights, ecstatic endorphin-rush exhilaration, and a nagging undercurrent of ennui.
