Lei-Lei Cinema presents Millennium Mambo
As part of the Scalarama Film Festival, join us for a rare screening of Hou Hsiao-hsien’s hypnotic neon classic Millennium Mambo (2001) at Belgrave Music Hall & Canteen on Sunday, September 20th, 2026 at 7:00 PM.
Told from the perspective of a decade later, the film follows Vicky (Shu Qi) as she drifts through the pulsing, neon-drenched club scene of Taipei. Caught between a toxic romance with a possessive DJ and the quiet sanctuary offered by an older gangster, her journey becomes a trance-like meditation on transient youth, urban alienation, and the relentless flow of time.
Directed by acclaimed auteur Hou Hsiao-hsien (A City of Sadness, The Assassin), Millennium Mambo combines intoxicating cinematography by Mark Lee Ping-bing, an iconic electronic score by Lim Giong, and an unforgettable performance by Shu Qi. This film is rarely shown on the big screen — and this will be its first-ever screening in Leeds!
