Synopsis
"Rows of theatre chairs play a major role in
Tsai Ming-liang’s
It’s a Dream […], shot in a theatre in Kuala Lumpur, occupied by a family sharing and eating durian fruit, and a woman who shares pears on a skewer with the man sitting in the row behind her, in a wordless moment of contact between strangers that is typical of Tsai’s body of work. Tsai’s contribution [to
Chacun son cinéma] is like a microcosm of his feature-length ode to the cinema,
Bu san." –
