Stray Dogs (Chinese: 郊遊, French: Les Chiens errants) is a 2013 drama film written and directed by Tsai Ming-liang.

The family meets at night to wash in public bathrooms and sleep in a makeshift shelter they have established in an abandoned building.

Long wordless sequences pass of the man performing daily activities: eating, drinking, sleeping, smoking, urinating, defecating, sometimes weeping.

Torrential rain is virtually constant, and Taipei feels depopulated — a place where events, mostly concerning food and shelter, may be staged in situ.

Calling it a "glum, humorless exercise in Asian miserablism", he wrote that "Stray Dogs, with its glacial pace and disconnected narrative, often feels more like an art installation than like a movie.

"[2] He added that the film "sustains a hypnotic intensity anchored in exquisite cinematography that portrays the modern industrial cityscape as a chilly wasteland.
