#199 - Tsai Ming-liang's Days (2020) - Peace, Pain and Letting Go - Film Analysis

A disillusioned, recuperating, lonely man. Another man in a faraway country. Both looking for something. A chance encounter. Peace, pain, departure. Tenderness, impermanence, aching and beyond the senses. Equanimity, disillusionment, hunger, growth. Touch, the passage of time, and letting go. And also a lot of really damn long takes. Karri also deeply reflects on how Tsai's sense of emotional reorientation towards cinema strongly resonates with Karri and reflects his journey with The Flick Lab. Films covered in this episode: Days (2020) Hosted by Karri Ojala and Henrik Telkki. Edited by Karri Ojala. The Flick Lab theme tune performed by Nick Grivell.
