Abstract
ABSTRACTThis interview was conducted on 31 January 2010 during the Rotterdam International Film Festival where Tsai Ming-liang's latest feature film, Lian/Visage (2009), was screened. Commissioned by the Musée du Louvre and set partly in the museum's premises, the film suitably pays homage to the legacy of the French New Wave. Famed for his affinity to François Truffaut and having cast Jean-Pierre Léaud and incorporated scenes from Truffaut's 1959 film, Les quatre cents coups/The 400 Blows, in his 2001 film, Ni nabian jidian/What Time Is It There?, Tsai extends this cross-cultural cinephilia in Visage by casting Léaud, Jeanne Moreau and Fanny Ardant, all of whom had had close working and personal relationships with Truffaut. The interview thus focused on Visage and its commission by an internationally renowned art museum.
