Man in the Boat
Un director taiwanés (Kang-sheng) prepara en París una delirante adaptación de la espeluznante historia de Salomé (Laetitia Casta), la hijastra de Herodes que exigió la cabeza de Juan el Bautista (Léaud). Ardant interpreta a la productora del proyecto, y Moreau es la musa inspiradora que aparece en sus sueños.
To celebrate its 60th anniversary, the Cannes Film Festival invited around thirty filmmakers to create three-minute short films to compose the collective film Chacun son cinema. Tsai Ming-liang proposed a twinned piece with his feature Goodbye, Dragon Inn, an exploration of the movie theater as a public space and collective experience. Shortly after, Tsai put on this new version of the piece, twenty minutes longer, which was presented at the Venice Biennale.
Rawang
Rawang, an immigrant from Bangladesh living in awful conditions, takes pity on a Chinese man, Hsiao-kang, who is beaten up and left in the street. Rawang lovingly nurses him on a mattress he found. When he is almost healed, Hsiao-kang meets the waitress Chyi. His love for Rawang is put to the test.
