Description:	A stylish and seductive submersion into the techno-scored neon nightlife of Taipei, Hou Hsiao-hsien's Millennium Mambo is a much-misunderstood marvel. Presented in a stunning 4K restoration, it stars Shu Qi (The Transporter) as an aimless bar hostess drifting away from her blowhard boyfriend and towards Jack Kao's suave, sensitive gangster. Structured as a flashback to the then-present from the then-future of 2011, it's a transfixing trance-out of a movie, drenched in club lights, ecstatic endorphin-rush exhilaration, and a nagging undercurrent of ennui. Millennium Mambo is a visually stunning and emotionally resonant film directed by acclaimed Taiwanese filmmaker Hou Hsiao-hsien, now available in Blu-Ray format from Metrograph Pictures. Set in the early 2000s Taipei, the story follows Vicky (played by Shu Qi), a young woman drifting through nightlife and relationships as she searches for meaning and independence. The Blu-Ray edition features restored visuals that highlight Mark Lee Ping-Bing?s mesmerizing cinematography, immersing viewers in neon-lit cityscapes and evocative sound design. Metrograph Pictures is renowned for curating high-quality releases of international cinema classics, bringing important works to new audiences with exceptional attention to detail. Director Hou Hsiao-hsien is celebrated worldwide for his poetic storytelling style; he won Best Director at Cannes for "The Assassin" (2015) and has been honored at Venice and Berlin festivals. Lead actress Shu Qi rose to fame with roles in "Three Times" (also by Hou) and Luc Besson's "The Transporter." Cinematographer Mark Lee Ping-Bing collaborated on Wong Kar-wai?s iconic "In the Mood for Love," earning global acclaim. Supporting actor Jack Kao is known for his performances in films like "City of Sadness." Millennium Mambo stands as a testament to their collective artistry.
