Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow? (Taiwan, 2013)

Writer/director Arvin Chen’s light-hearted second feature places his central character at a crossroads: married and contemplating a second child with his wife, Weichung re-encounters a former friend from his earlier gay life, uncorking an intoxicating brew of memories and new/old experiences. Delightfully, the film positions his struggle as just one negotiation among many, as his family members also undergo relationship ups and downs, all handled with a deft touch.
