Tsai Ming-liang / Hong Kong, Taiwan / 2012 / Czech Premiere / 27 min.


synopsis

The first of Tsai's series of films about a walking monk is based on the contrast of extremely slow movement and the hustle and bustle of the modern city. A Buddhist meditation with a plastic bag, neon signs, paint and advertisements, it provides a fascinating and hilarious reflection on a day as a monk in the middle of Hong Kong and his journey to his first bite to eat.
