    A prizewinner at the 1998 Cannes Film Festival, TH A prizewinner at the 1998 Cannes Film Festival, THE HOLE is set in Taipei slightly in the future – just prior to the dawn of the 21st century. The vaguely sci-fi story follows two residents of a quickly crumbling building who refuse to leave their homes in spite of a bizarre virus that has forced the evacuation of the area. As rain pours down relentlessly, a single man is stuck with an unfinished plumbing job and a hole in his floor. This results in a very odd relationship with the woman who lives in the apartment below. Combining deadpan humor with an austere view of loneliness and several unexpected musical numbers, Tsai Ming-liang crafted one of the most original films of the 1990s – and one that seems oddly appropriate for today’s circumstances. New Reissue! Director's Cut! Tsai Ming-liang's THE HOLE is now showing in our Virtual Screening Room.
