Tsai Ming-Liang on the central theme of his movies:

"Interviewer: Your body of work seems to question the status of the erotic in the modern city. The sense of alienation that inhabits your characters is frequently augmented by libidinal repression. Certain of your films - 'Vive L'Amour' (1994), 'The River' (1997), 'What Time is it There?' (2001) - conclude with failed or distorted realizations of sexual desire. How do you view the role of the erotic in these works?

Tsai Ming-Liang: I want to express the failure of erotic desire to be realized in contemporary urban space. I would like to make my films about disappearing, like 'The Skywalk is Gone' [2002] and 'Goodbye Dragon Inn' (2003). The whole theatre is disappearing in that film! This subject is important to me because society changes so fast and everything disappears so fast - historical sites, culture.

One day I walked to the area where Lee Kang-Sheng was selling watches [in What Time is it There?], and I realized that 'the skywalk is gone.' It happens in Asia like that, things just disappear. People in their forties have no way of finding traces of their childhood. Modern people are afraid of disappearance. Living in Taipei, for example, we constantly have to deal with compelling visual change. We ask the question: what do you love the most? Who do you love the most? You will lose them - it will happen in modern society. My films ask the question: how we can face the disappearance? The loss?"

Dua Lipa has dropped her agent David Levy after he signed a letter calling to stop KNEECAP from performing at Glastonbury, due to their pro-Palestine activism.

“She views him as being a supporter of Israel's war in Gaza, and the terrible treatment of the Palestinians and that was made very clear through the letter that he signed and sent to Michael Eavis”, The Daily Mail reports.
