"Millenium Mambo" (Qianxi manbo) is a film about alienation, the pursuit of happiness and techno music. In a world that is too fast a young girl searches for an identity, in clubs, big cities and in the chaotic beats of techno music. The dialogue in the movie is there only where it's necessary which made it at least for me easier to identify with the main character. Vicky's relationships and her life seems to be shallow but it's not much different than anyone else's life and that's what makes this film so great. Qi Shu has done a remarkable job as Vicky and I'm really looking forward to see Hsiao-hsien Hou's next film.
