A young man with a neck problem and his family.
Sinekatalog’s take
Tsai Ming-liang's austere drama follows a young man with a mysterious neck pain and his estranged father and mother. Spare and bleak, with striking water imagery and strong sensual undercurrents, it is a bold, unsettling film.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
