Vive l'amour (1994) at Bottom Feeder Books

Windup Cinema is back at Bottom Feeder Books on May 15 with Tsai’s second feature and first international breakout, Vive l’amour. A realtor, her lover, and a funeral salesman who stumbles on one of her vacant units for-sale populate the film and this apartment with near-misses, ambient longing, and more hijinks than usual for its director. Several of Tsai’s hallmarks (alienation in modern Taipei, melons, long takes that reorient your relationship with attention) are present, along with three frequent collaborators, including his muse and real-life roommate, Lee Kang-sheng.
