Millennium Mambo captures the sheer weightlessness, inertia, and amnesia of life in contemporary Taipei by focusing on free-spirited bar hostess Vicky as she floats into the new millennium seemingly unfettered by work, love, or family, all while recalling her romances with her exes Hao Hao and Jack in the neon-lit clubs of Taipei.
Presented in Mandarin with English subtitles.
Special thanks to Kino Lorber for assisting with this screening.
