River, The (Widescreen) (Region 1) - Ming-Liang, TsaiReleasedatum: 4 februari 2003
A mother, father, and son live together in a small apartment in Taipei but lead very separate lives. The son, Xiao Kang (Lee Kang Sheng), drifts through life without a job; the mother is an elevator operator having an affair with a man who pirates pornographic movies; and the father pursues illicit pleasures in the city's gay saunas and is on a mission to stop the leaking water from the apartment upstairs. When the son is stricken with an agonizing pain in his neck and shoulders, seemingly from taking an ill-advised dunk in the polluted Tansui River, the family is driven on a quest to alleviate the son's pain.
