I Don't Want To Sleep Alone

aka Hei Yan Quan (black eye ring)
Rating: M18
After being attacked and robbed in Kuala Lumpur, the homeless Hsiao Kang is taken in by some Bangladeshi workers. One of them, Rawang, lets Hsiao Kang sleep beside him on an old mattress he has found. As he nurses Hsiao KangÂ’s wounded body, he feels calm and contented.

When she happens to meet Hsiao Kang, her body fills with lustful desires. However, her difficulty in finding a place to have sex with him brings home to her just how little freedom she has.
As Hsiao Kang slowly recovers, he finds himself caught between Rawang and Chyi, pleading for attention like a stray cat but equally capable of fluttering away as free as a moth. ChyiÂ’s lady boss also develops lustful feelings for Hsiao Kang, finding that he resembles her paralysed son...

I don't want to sleep alone - if you have incredible patience, then you probably won't have to. Otherwise, within 10 minutes, you'll fall into deep sleep, as did somebody in the same screening I went to. I have put off writing the review to see if my opinion would change, and I dare say it has mellowed down. I would have loved to condemn this Tsai Ming-Liang movie, but just like any other movie, its bound to have its lovers and detractors. I for one, disliked the film, but acknowledge its technical merits.

As much as I've always admire artistic movies... I seriously couldn't say much of the same for this one... Except that perhaps this director really has his own 'style'... Which I do not really know how to appreciate...

the wayward cloud.. the plot of the story is ok.. but the singing & the pen1s head part is totally lame.. i think there are better ways to show the audience.. -
