Synopsis:
Hou Hsiao-hsien's poetic portrait of millennial urban life follows Vicky (Shu Qi) as she drifts through Taipei’s nocturnal landscape, caught between love and loss. Her journey reflects a generation suspended between intimacy and alienation, searching for connection and self-definition.
With its hypnotic rhythm and atmospheric precision, the film captures emotional distance and solitude with quiet intensity. For diasporic audiences, its sense of drift and longing resonates deeply. This 4K restoration restores its luminous textures for a renewed big-screen experience.
