Lee Kang-Sheng, Anong Houngheuangsy,
A two-hour film composed of only forty-six shots and no main dialogue, Days fittingly follows the solitary lives of two men in separate countries: a middle-aged Taiwanese man battling neck pain (Lee Kang-sheng) and a young Lao immigrant in Thailand. Scenes from their quiet days come and go, until a commercial encounter finally unites them. As always, Tsai Ming-liang sketches the beauty and nobility of lives lived in silence, though with Days, viewers also mark the passing of time in Lee’s now-weathered, still-mesmerizing face, a constant in Tsai’s films for nearly thirty years. “A ravishing, wordless story of urban loneliness” (Screen Daily).
