Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow?

Arvin Chen’s second feature after ?Au Revoir Taipei?, deals with our innermost fears and desires, adding surreal touches on the main character’s magic realist journey, where the scariest monster he has to defeat is none other than himself.

For nine years, Weichung has been a model husband, a great dad and the perfect assistant to his boss. But when his wife puts on the pressure to have a second child, he seems to reassess his sexual orientation after a chance encounter with a friend from his gay past, and starts flirting with a customer, until the dividing line gets a little too blurry. Meanwhile, his sister splits up with her fiancé, wondering whether she “will still love him tomorrow”.

Arvin Chen’s second feature after “Au Revoir Taipei”, deals with our innermost fears and desires, adding surreal touches on the main character’s magic realist journey, where the scariest monster he has to defeat is none other than himself. His low key story, affectionate, deeply human, melancholy and at the same time optimistic, is sure to tug at your heartstrings. Ch.L.

    Kris and Jeff are inexplicably drawn together by an irresistible force, unveiling a forgotten past they never knew existed.

    Spring Breakers

    Spring Breakers

    Harmony Korine's latest provocative effort is, without any hint of exaggeration, the guiltiest pleasure of the film season, capturing four young girls in a violent, heavily sexualized Spring Break frenzy.

    My Sweet Pepper Land

    A bitter sense of humour and atmospheric musical inserts complete a modest work of art, which rightfully gained a lot of supporters in the last Cannes Film Festival.

    Much Ado About Nothing

    What is ?The Avengers? director doing in a romantic comedy inspired by Shakespeare's ?Much Ado About Nothing?? I'll let you know what he's doing: he has written and directed it, he has composed and recorded the score and he's even helmed the production, just to prove he's a little more than every comic book nerd's new favorite director.

    Jiseul

    Based on a bloody page in South Korean history that is all but forgotten, Muel O. zeroes in on the attempts of an entire village to escape certain death by hiding out in underground caves, faced with freezing temperatures, starvation and fear. Avoiding a traditional reenactment, the director chooses to highlight intimate moments on both sides of the fence.
