Wiki.

Vive l'amour (simplified Chinese: 爱情万岁; traditional Chinese: 愛情萬歲; pinyin: Àiqíng wànsuì; lit. 'long live love') is a 1994 Taiwanese New Wave film directed by Tsai Ming-liang. It is Tsai Ming-liang's second feature film.

Continuing Tsai Ming-liang's attentive observation of urban life, Vive l'amour unfolds the theme of urban alienation through three young urbanites' search for romance and their disbelief in traditional family values in the 1990s Taipei. Tsai Ming-liang takes a bold move with plot lines that are stylistically designed to focus on only a trio of main characters, who unknowingly share an apartment in Taipei. The cinematic language of Vive l'amour is kept to an extreme minimum. Tsai Ming-liang's austere composition of dialogues with a total of less than a hundred lines throughout the film, paired with a minimalist use of background music and soundtrack, reflects the emotional loneliness and spiritual emptiness experienced by the three urbanites of Taipei.

Vive l'amour was premiered at the 51st Venice International Film Festival, where it won the prestigious Golden Lion–the very first one for Tsai Ming-liang. With its daring long takes piercing through the deep hearts of the depressed characters, Vive l'amour introduces the unique "Tsai Ming-liang style", which is later embraced by international audiences and critics, and attracts European and American audiences to enter the lonely world Tsai Ming-liang's cinematic language portrays on screen. While the film was celebrated by international cinephiles when it was first released, its vague storyline and cinematic techniques were too obscure for most movie goers, resulting in an average box office turnout.
