A screening of Hou Hsiao-hsien's 2001 film about an aimless bar hostess in Taipei, drifting from her blowhard boyfriend towards a suave, sensitive gangster. Structured as a flashback to the then-present from the then-future of 2011, it is a trance-like dive into the techno-scored neon nightlife of the city, drenched in club lights with a nagging undercurrent of ennui. Shu Qi stars alongside Jack Kao and Tuan Chun-hao. The film is presented in a new digital restoration as part of the cinema's focus on filmmaker Mark Lee Ping-bing.
