Days | Blu-ray (Grasshopper Film)
RELEASE DATE: February 21, 2022
On February 21, 2022, Grasshopper Film is releasing the Blu-ray & DVD for Days, a Taiwanese film from critically-acclaimed director Tsai Ming-liang (Vive L’Amour).
Read the official details:
For decades the great Taiwanese filmmaker Tsai Ming-liang has been directing exquisite examinations of alienation, isolation, and the fleeting beauty of human connection featuring his muse Lee Kang-sheng. Days is one of his best, sparest, most intimate works.
Lee once again stars as a variation on himself, wandering through a lonely urban landscape and seeking treatment in Hong Kong for a chronic illness; at the same time, a young Laotian immigrant (Anong Houngheuangsy) working in Bangkok goes about his daily routine. These two solitary men eventually come together in a moment of healing, tenderness, and sexual release.
Among the most cathartic entries in Tsai’s filmography, Days is a work of longing, constructed with the director’s customary brilliance at visual composition and shot through with profound empathy.
