After Tarkovsky, Wes Anderson, Wong Kar-wai and other directors who are extremely paranoid in tone, the first time you encounter Mike Lee's films will definitely feel very unfamiliar. And Mike Lee's camera is really a pair of eyes aimed at real life. The strong colors in the movie are all hidden in the plot of the story. Mike Lee hopes that all actors will act as themselves.
