Hei Yan Quan
I Don't Want to Sleep Alone
(Taiwan/France/Austria/China, 2006, 118 minutes)
A young Chinese man in Malaysia is beaten up and taken in by illegal workers, and eventually enters a relationship with a young Chinese girl whose brother lies comatose. Affecting, dreamlike melodrama about the need for affection, whose story seems to build itself out of thin air in front of our very eyes, shot in long, static takes where nothing much seems to happen. Arthouse audiences will have a field day.
