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.

"Cause for celebration."
— Peter Debruge, Variety
"Pure rapture. A full body massage for the soul."
— Jonathan Romney, Film Comment
"Tsai's most tender depiction of physical and emotional coupling."
— Giovanni Marchini Camia, Sight & Sound
"A profound, meditative poem on the human need for connection."
— Greg Wetherall, Little White Lies
"It is somewhat ironic that for a film with next to no words, Days has a lot to say."
— Greg Wetherall, Little White Lies
"In a film lasting a shade over two hours, consisting of just 46 separate shots, the undisputed emperor of Taiwanese slow cinema crafts a ravishing, wordless story of urban loneliness."
— Lee Marshall, Screen Daily
"Days was a reminder of the profundity and the emotional eloquence of stillness and near silence: this is a film where you can sit at length marveling at the curve in a country road at night."
— Jonathan Romney, Film Comment Magazine
"Like all of Tsai's films, this communicates feelings of loneliness and alienation inherent to the human condition; but perhaps more than any other, it revels in the corporeality of Tsai's performers..."
— Kathleen Sachs, Chicago Reader
"It’s a film of before and after isolation, implying the ways that unexpected connection can both blessedly break a pattern of routinized loneliness and create a new, perhaps more painful form of longing through its absence."
— A.A. Dowd, The A.V. Club
