This is not a film for people unfamiliar with Tsai and Lee’s work. It’s a film for cinephiles who loved “Stray Dogs.”

Over the course of one afternoon, acclaimed director Tsai Ming-Liang and longtime collaborator Lee Kang-sheng share an in-depth conversation. Ruminating over life and cinema, they discuss topics ranging from spirituality to the most intimate notes of the director-actor relationship. A film-confession that defies storytelling and goes beyond conversation on cinema.
We hate to say it, but we can't find anywhere to view this film.

What are critics saying?
The Hollywood Reporter by Clarence Tsui
The film is surprisingly shoddy stylistically.
The New York Times by Glenn Kenny
Obviously, this is not a film for viewers unfamiliar with Mr. Tsai’s work. But its insistently austere format does suggest a purpose beyond its immediate context.
The A.V. Club by Ignatiy Vishnevetsky
Candid and audaciously minimalist, Afternoon risks self-indulgence, but comes out with insight.
Village Voice by Michael Atkinson
This is not a movie, really, but a back-rub and a cup of tea for Tsai purists, for whom the filmmaker's company, behind or in front of the camera, is all that's required.
The Film Stage by Zhuo-Ning Su
For Tsai’s numbered but avid fans everywhere, it offers a highly informative, almost voyeuristic peek behind the creation of such masterpieces of urban loneliness as Vive L’Amour or Stray Dogs.
