Winner of the French Touch prize in the Critics’ Week lineup of the 2024 Cannes Film Festival, Constance Tsang’s intimate, sensitively observed drama stars frequent Tsai Ming-Liang collaborator Lee Kang-sheng (Rebels Of the Neon God, Stray Dogs), alongside Wu Ke-xi (Nina Wu) and Xu Haixpeng as three Chinese immigrants living in Flushing, Queens — he’s a construction worker, they’re employees of a massage parlor they dream of being able to leave — whose routine lives and relationships are changed forever following a tragic Lunar New Year incident. A tender study of social isolation and messy emotional entanglement, infused with melancholic atmosphere by the standout work of DP Norm Li (Kuso, Beyond The Black Rainbow), shooting on film.
