Millennium Mambo (2001)

Millennium Mambo is Hou Hsiao-hsien's atmospheric drama following a young woman drifting through Taipei's neon-lit club scene. She moves through a string of fractured relationships. Qi Shu carries the film with a hazy, hypnotic presence that matches its dreamlike pacing. The site hosts 1 scene from the movie, catching her in a brief undressed moment. It still draws attention from longtime fans. It's a small but telling piece of her early filmography, shot years before she became a familiar face in mainstream cinema.
