They find consolation in each other before parting ways and carrying on with their days. Days marks yet another masterwork in one of contemporary cinema’s most extraordinary careers. ------- “The beauty of Tsai’s approach, a taste worth acquiring, is the way he builds empathy for his characters by pulling us into their geographic, temporal, and by extension emotional space.” -A.A. Dowd, The AV Club “Like all of Tsai’s films, this communicates feelings of loneliness and alienation inherent to the human condition; but perhaps more than any other, it revels in the corporeality of Tsai’s performers…” -Kathy Sachs, Chicago Reader “The movie’s two final shots… are among the most striking evocations of the quiet anguish of loneliness that any form of cinema can offer.” -Glenn Kenny, The New York Times The Frida Cinema is a non-profit organization dedicated to enriching, connecting, and educating communities through the art of cinema.  Founded in 2014, it is Orange County's sole non-profit, independent cinema.OC's year-round film festival.
