Interesting facts
Face is a 2009 Taiwanese-French film written and directed by Tsai Ming-liang.
Background
Face was written and directed by Tsai Ming-liang. It is set in the Louvre, as the museum had invited Tsai to make a film there. The Louvre contributed 775,000 euros, which was around 20 percent of the entire budget. The film is also inspired by director François Truffaut, and the cast includes several actors who worked with Truffaut.
Face was described as a "meditation on the cinematic process." Like Tsai's other films, Face is about people who are incredibly alienated.
