Walking on Water

About This Movie

So, 'Walking on Water' is a fascinating short by Tsai Ming-Liang, and it's kind of a personal piece for him. Shot in his childhood home in Kuching, it really captures that blend of nostalgia and introspection. The pacing is deliberate, as is typical for Tsai; there's a kind of stillness that forces you to sit with the moment. The atmosphere is dense with memory, and you can feel the weight of the past in the setting. The performances are subtle, yet they resonate deeply, almost like a meditation on time and space. It's not flashy or overly dramatic, but that’s what makes it distinctive. It’s more about feeling than plot, echoing a sense of place and belonging that lingers long after it’s over.
