Скачать или смотреть The River Q&A with Lee Kang-sheng

Lee Kang-sheng joins us for a Q&A as part of our season Taiwanese Cinema: Now and Then. In director Tsai Ming-Liang's shockingly subversive family drama, Hsiao-Kang gets roped into participating in a film shoot, in which he plays a dead body floating in the Tamsui River in Taipei. But the polluted, dirty water provokes a health crisis, as Hsiao-Kang is suddenly struck by debilitating neck pain. His concerned parents attempt various ways of alleviating his discomfort, but to no avail and soon, the son’s misery causes the troubled family unit to further disintegrate.

Moderated by Tony Rayns, with translation by Millie Zhou. Presented in partnership with Queer East.

Recorded on 11th September 2024 at The Garden Cinema
39-41 Parker Street London WC2B 5PQ
