Tsai’s gradual refinement of his cinema to bare essentials reaches a new level of rhapsodic serenity in Days, in which the parallel narratives of a middle-aged man seeking treatment for a chronic illness in Hong Kong (Lee Kang-sheng) and a Laotian immigrant in Bangkok (Anong Houngheuangsy), eventually, finally, meet in a moment of ecstatic release. “Builds an uncanny mood… The movie’s two final shots, in which its performers are now miraculously rendered as fully human, are among the most striking evocations of the quiet anguish of loneliness that any form of cinema can offer.” —The New York Times
