  "textContent": "“Another manifestation of non-narrative quotidian is the “walking” film”, as Paul Schrader put it in his book Transcendental Style in Film. This film by Tsai Ming-liang, literally titled Walker, is about a monk (actor Lee Kang-Sheng) who, practicing a kind of meditation, walks extremely slowly through the streets of Hong Kong. There’s an almost surreal quality as you’re focusing intently on the slow-motion pace of the monk, the busy street life going on around him begins to seem like it’s filmed separately in time-lapse.",
