One of my most anticipated films in competition at the currently-in-progress Cannes Film Festival is the latest from the great Taiwanese filmmaker Tsai Ming-liang, which will premiere later this week. Face marks the first time that Tsai has set a story largely outside of Asia, but despite the new setting, this definitely has a Tsai feel to it. More specifically, this feels like the surreal Tsai of movies like The Wayward Cloud, with the trailer highlighting the strange imagery and musical numbers that distinguished that memorable film. In addition, longtime Tsai watchers should appreciate this as the latest installment in the ongoing adventures of Lee Kang-Sheng, in which Tsai’s favorite leading man finds himself transplanted to Paris and into the path of the lovely Laetitia Casta. The super-cool supporting cast of talented French performers- Jean-Pierre Leaud, Fanny Ardant, Jeanne Moreau, Nathalie Baye, Mathieu Amalric- should attract some francophilic moviegoers, which ought to at least get Face the American release that Wayward Cloud deserved but never got.
