I Don't Want to Sleep Alone

“All the sweetness, regrets and sorrows. Are beyond any spoken words.”

I thought this world might be incapable of having those magical moments found in The Wayward Cloud, but boy was I wrong. Here, in I Don’t Want to Sleep Alone, those previously grand music sequences are reduced to the music and the scene itself, no added extravagant dancing or set pieces, just music and a typical Tsai scene. These so called “magical moments” have just taken another form and serve a different purpose. Emphasizing not the juxtaposition of joy and the character’s situation from Wayward, but to emphasize the current moment, bringing light to repressed emotions within the image.

Immensely beautiful, especially that final scene. Tsai really does have that special touch when it comes to crafting an ending

Tsai just gets it, man. That last shot's going to stay with me forever.

this was sooo beautiful every movie by tsai ming liang that i find boring, i always make sure to finish them because the ending always makes me realize how beautiful the movie actually is. it can be tiring to immerse yourself in his movies especially if the scenes are just quiet and uneventful, but it's always worth it, it always is to me. this movie i love it so much and the ending scene is amazing, comforting and painful at the same time, and the song that played made it even better
