Vive L'amour (1994)

Urban isolation and quiet despair are the nucleus of this evocative, laconic film from Taiwanese director Tsai Ming-liang. Three lonely souls - struggling realtor May Lin, shallow street vendor Ah-jung and depressed homosexual Hsiao-kang - become inextricably linked by an unoccupied, high-rise apartment in teeming Taipei. While May and Ah-jung use the place for casual sex, Hsiao-kang views it as a haven from the antiseptic world outside.
