The Hole
- 2PM
In this trippy drama-musical, Taiwan is drenched in rain for endless days when a mysterious illness grips the nation—causing people to crawl on the floor in search of darkness. As people flee the city in droves, residents in a dilapidated apartment building ignore the warnings and remain. When a plumber arrives to fix the pipes in one unit but instead drills a hole in the ceiling connecting to the unit below, two neighbors become increasingly irritated—-yet drawn to each other. Commissioned as part of the “2000, Seen By” project by celebrated Taiwanese New Wave director Tsai Ming-liang, this is mandatory viewing for Asian cinema aficionados.
