MILLENIUM MAMBO
2001, 119 min, 35mm
In 2011 Taipei, Vicki reflects on her life at the turn of the century as an aimless party girl. Her jealous, drug-addled boyfriend drives her away into a seemingly platonic relationship with Jack, an older man. Jack's mafia connections force him to visit Japan and he suggests that she follow. The sole contemporary-set feature of this retrospective is one of Hou's most beautifully shot filmsa ghostly story of ennui and regret.
