Paul Thomas Anderson's "One Battle After Another" A Bold Exploration of Race, Immigration and America
Paul Thomas Anderson blends tragedy, comedy in 2025 epic, "One Battle After Another."
Mishima in Mexico (2012)
Mishima in Mexico draws inspiration from Yukio Mishima’s novel Thirst for Love and from Mishima’s legacy as it is encountered today within a global queer context. The original novel is a twisted romance set in 1950s post-war Japan. Etsuko, a widowed society woman falls in love with her servant Saburo, a rural farm boy, but her desire drives them both to tragedy. In collaboration with Alex Segade, Tsang’s stripped down adaptation is set in a single room of an iconic hotel in Mexico City. A writer and director struggle to relate through the creative process, while on-screen as Etsuko and Saburo, they shift in and out of mutable characters. In this experimental narrative, the liminal space between reality and fantasy for the performer becomes fluid and the separation between observer and observed starts to collapse.
