“A quietly aching stunner from one of our great filmmakers. Gorgeously sensual. With DAYS, Tsai Ming-Liang has made something exquisite and rare: an elegiac, autumnal work that also feels like an artistic breakthrough.”
—Los Angeles Times
“Pure rapture. A full body massage for the soul.”
—Film Comment
“A profound, meditative poem on the human need for connection.”
—Little White Lies
Two men drift through separate cities, bound by solitude — one seeking medical care, the other lost in daily routine. When they finally meet, tenderness and quiet release become their shared language. With meditative beauty, Tsai Ming-liang crafts one of his most intimate, empathetic works, capturing fleeting moments of human connection.
