Tsai Ming-liang's
The Hole (洞) is very strange and very well made. It is an intriguing tribute to Grace Chang songs. It's also an apocalyptic vision of loneliness and contemporary Taiwan, and it has a fantastic performance by Yang Kuei-mei. I saw this with my unseen movie club right before Covid-19 shut everything down and the whole thing felt uncanny. We all really liked it. And I can't stop thinking about the fact that the main character (Yang's character) is hoarding sanitary napkins, meanwhile in California people were hoarding toilet paper like madmen.
