yang kuei-mei and chen chao-jung (both from the hit comedy eat drink man woman) star as may, a chic and seductive real estate agent, and ah-jong, a street merchant. this mesmerizing film revolves around the two young people and their encounters in one of the thousands of vacant, anonymous apartments that fill tapei, taiwan. after a chance meeting, the couple use the apartment for their impulsive sexual liaisons. a third person, a shy young gay man, hides in the same apartment, and spies on the couple, creating a bizarre love triangle. considered by critics as reminiscent of the best works of michelangelo antonioni (blow-up), vive l'amour presents its own compelling mix of quirky wit and eroticism.
