One of Taiwan’s biggest directors, Tsai Ming-liang, will not only be getting a retrospective of his films at the Asia Society (The Faces of Tsai Ming-liang, Nov. 13 – 21) but he’s also going to be here to introduce a screening of his latest film, FACE (Nov. 15 @ 2pm – more info) and with him will be his longtime onscreen alter ego, Lee Kang-sheng. It’s an extreme bummer that the series doesn’t include THE WAYWARD CLOUD, Tsai’s most controversial and best movie (it’s an anti-porn musical) but it does include a rare screening of his first film, REBELS OF THE NEON GOD, so that’s something.
