Interview. Lee Kang-sheng.
In Help Me Eros, Lee Kang-sheng plays Ah Jie, who's racked up quite a fortune during the stock market boom in Taiwan - but who's now losing it all during the bust. The film "focuses on the man's desperate clinging to the few luxuries he has left while he drags himself through every day on a diet of sex, soft drugs and fantasies about the girl at the other end of the suicide helpline," wrote Ardvark at Twitch when he saw it in Rotterdam. "Definitely recommended."
Michael Guillén asks Lee Kang-sheng, primarily know for his work in front of Tsai Ming-liang's camera, about how much of the story is based on his own life.
