All the beauty, terror, humor, uncertainty, and paradoxes of modern Asia merge in Ratanaruang's richly stylized tale of an obsessive-compulsive, suicidal Japanese librarian with a mysterious past and an insouciant Thai prostitute with an uncertain future. Vibrant cinematography by Christopher Doyle and subtle performances (including Asano Tadanobu's) have already made the film a hit (and an award-winner) at festivals worldwide. Presented in association with Asian CineVision (www.asiancinevision.org).

First come, first serve basis. To receive tickets, please RSVP to specialevents@asiancinevision.org or call 212.989.1422.
