Days

A slow-burn emotional meditation on being, wanting, and needing. A sensual think tank on our place in the world and those we interact with. Perhaps a liiiittle too slow for my taste, but the silence that overtakes this speaks volumes and contemplates its melancholy tone. Also, as non-insulting as I can possibly say it: this is a movie best experienced while doing something else. Could be anything: laundry, cooking, cleaning. The point is that you spend a long time in a single space. Probably by yourself. In that environment this film is kind of crushing in the best way. One of those movies that I don't come out of over the moon about, but it's going to stay with me for a while and grow on me as I think on it more, I'm sure. Need to check out more Tsai Ming-liang.
