2013 film by Tsai Ming-liang

In 2015, Tsai Ming-Liang was once again invited by the Hong Kong International Film Festival to make the opening short film. This time, he selected Shibuya station in Tokyo as his main filming location and invited the famous Japanese actor Masanobu Ando to appear alongside Lee Kang-Sheng. They sleep separately at a capsule hotel and cleanse themselves at a public bath. Their fatigued bodies yearn for sleep but restless minds keep them for falling asleep. "No No Sleep" won the Best Director Award at the Taipei Film Festival.

本書為台灣知名導演蔡明亮在香港浸會大學電影學院所作電影講座的講稿結集而成。 蔡導演對香港有特殊情意結，自稱「喝香港的奶水長大」，受香港影視作品的影響很深，他的另一個藝術源頭是法國新浪潮電影。在講座中蔡明亮詳述他從影經過，並分享他奉獻電影藝術的經驗與感受。 他強調做電影是要思考的，既思考市場，也要思考作品本身，既要思考安全的概念，也要思考創作的概念、反叛的概念。他主張完全自由地發展自己就是一種理想，一些戲種一些影片不賺錢，應該給它一點時間和空間，培養它而非拋棄它。 本書涉及的內容層面很廣，也很有深度，既是專業的，也是普及的，說的雖然是電影，但牽涉的卻是人生大課題。
