A film by Tsai Ming-liang
With: Anong Houngheuangsy
Tsai Ming-liang’s new film, Back Home, depicts Anong Houngheuangsy and the daily life of his home village in Laos. We witness buildings in varying states of habitation and disrepair, farm animals, rice fields, religious sites, domestic scenes, a sun-dappled food market, and a dog adorably trying (and failing) to escape a carnival ride.
Our rate: *
Tsai Ming-Liang, in a slightly lazy mood, offers us a slideshow of his homeland and attempts a composition that questions development, ways of life, and also humanity itself. Not uninteresting, but not essential viewing.
