Vive L'Amour

1995118 min7.2 / 10

A melancholic, deliberately paced study of three isolated urban dwellers whose secret cohabitation becomes a meditation on loneliness, desire, and the impossibility of genuine connection.

Three lonely young denizens of Taipei unknowingly share an apartment: May, a real estate agent who uses it for her sexual affairs; Ah-jung, her current lover; and Hsiao-kang, who's stolen the key and uses the apartment as a retreat.
