Under the pain of illness and treatment, Kang (Lee Kang-sheng) finds himself adrift. He meets Non (Anong Houngheuangsy) in a foreign land. They find consolation in each other before parting ways and carrying on with their days. The latest film from Tsai Ming-liang (Goodbye Dragon Inn, Stray Dogs, The Wayward Cloud), Days marks yet another masterwork in one of contemporary cinema's most extraordinary careers.

Critics Consensus

Days poetically explores the experience of loneliness, reaffirming that few filmmakers understand the human condition as deeply as Ming-liang Tsai.

Tsai Ming-liangs largely dialogue-free Days speaks volumes, and Grasshoppers excellent home video release highlights the aesthetic and tonal complexity of its minimalist approach.

There are no subtitles here, but subtitles also feel unnecessary because it's a really immersive experience.

"Days" becomes such a resonant addition to Tsai's exhumed body of work because the filmmaker recognizes and embraces that uncharacteristically sentimental undertow.

There couldn’t be a more poignant climax in such a composed film.

them.

Tsai Ming-Liang’s latest feature is a quiet treasure. By completely eschewing subtitles for any of the conversations between its characters, Days requires the viewer to pay attention to the nuances of body language.

The Film Stage

The meditative quality of Tsai Ming-liang’s Days is so serene, so calming, so capable of lulling one into a dissociative daze that it quietly sneaks up to fill you with overwhelming sadness.

Not a movie that will touch all people equally, considering the very long still shots that might be considered boring. But personally this movie resonated with me greatly, the loneliness, the anxiety, the passion. I absolutely love this movie

Ming-Liang, king of slow film ad a living legend, brings in this, his 13th film, a haunting clered-eye look at one man's loneliness shared with other young man, an interaction wich is overwhelmingly sublime and shows how aware the director is about the bleak human condition.
