Going West: Tsai Ming-liang at the Louvre and Cinema in the Gallery
View through CrossRef
Tsai Ming-liang’s feature-length films (lauded at international film festivals but loathed by domestic audiences) and video installations have been perceived as efforts to return to their pure form as cinematic art. Such was the case with It’s a Dream (2007) and Visage (2009), commissioned by the Cannes Film Festival and the Louvre, respectively. This chapter explores the relation between Tsai’s films and the French New Wave, which demands a reassessment of his thematic continuation and the notion of cinephilia. While Tsai’s slow film aesthetics can be traced in relation to his prior theatre practice, his installation and film in the gallery are grounded in the belief that cinema needs to be resurrected in the museum.
