| Tsai Ming-liang's VIVE L'AMOUR arrives on Blu-ray in the USA June 14 from Film Movement | ||||||
 Film Movement Classics unveils a stunning 2K restoration of Tsai Ming-Liang's Golden Lion Winner, VIVE L'AMOUR, available on Blu-ray for the first time in North America.SYNOPSIS The sophomore feature from Tsai Ming-liang (REBELS OF THE NEON GOD; GOODBYE, DRAGON INN) finds the acclaimed master of Taiwan's Second New Wave demonstrating a confident new cinematic voice. VIVE L'AMOUR, being released by Film Movement Classics in a stunning 2K restoration available on Blu-ray for the first time ever in North America, follows three characters unknowingly sharing a supposedly empty Taipei apartment. The beautiful realtor May Lin (Yang Kuei-mei) brings her lover Ah-jung (Chen Chao-jung) to a vacant unit she has on the market, unaware that it is secretly being occupied by the suicidal funeral salesman Hsiao-kang (Lee Kang-sheng). The three cross paths in a series of precisely staged, tragicomic erotic encounters, but despite their physical proximity, they find themselves no closer to a personal connection. Featuring an intoxicating mix of Antonioni-esque longing and surprising deadpan humor, VIVE L'AMOUR -- a disarmingly funny masterclass in cinematic economy --catapulted Tsai to the top of the international filmmaking world and earned him the prestigious Golden Lion at the 1994 Venice International Film Festival. BONUS FEATURES - Tsai Ming-liang on Vive L’Amour featurette - 16-page booklet with a new essay by film critic Nick Pinkerton For more information, visit: * Amazon: https://amzn.to/3wmrqWa * Trailer: youtube.com * Website: filmmovement.com |
