Millennium Mambo

“Is it painful to be with me?”Millennium Mambo offers something that I didn’t expect to love it very much. In the film we see how Vicky tells a story of how she used to have relationship with Hao-Hao, and how it end. The past is something Vicky look into. It feels like the whole film is the journey of Vicky through self-discovery.  With it slow pace, it fits perfectly how Hsiao-Hsien’s want to connect the story to the audience, yet for some reason it still have a hole in it. Therefore, I feel connected very well with the film, the same experience I had with Tarkovsky’s Mirror. Overall, a beautifuly painful film and I’m so grateful that this is the first 5 stars I gave in March🤩
