In the latest episode of Heroic Purgatory: An Asian Cinema Podcast, John and Jason explore the slow cinema of Taiwanese filmmaker Tsai Ming-liang's debut feature, Rebels of the Neon God. Is this Tsai's most accessible and "least" slow movie? What do the characters represent, and what is the filmmaker trying to say about modern life in Taipei? Hear our opinions on these questions.

Enjoy!
