Just watched Tsai Ming-Liang's Goodbye Dragon Inn, which is about screening an old martial arts film Dragon Inn at a cinema on its last opening day. There's hardly any dialogue in this film; the lines are mostly from the old movie being screened. There's a lot of Tsai's characteristic long stationary shots too, so I guess as long as you can stand still, move in slow motion and look pensive, you stand a chance to act in his film. lol. Not to say that I dislike this film cos I love it. He captures a mood and freezes it lovingly, suspending time till you've examined everything in the frame carefully. I like this attention to detail.
