Goodbye, Dragon Inn
On a dark, wet night a historic and regal Chinese cinema screens its final film. Together, with a small handful of souls they bid "Goodbye, Dragon Inn."
Director: Tsai Ming-liang
Cast includes: Kang-sheng Lee, Shiang-chyi Chen
82 Mins /2003 / Taiwan, Subtitles
In Taipei City, a cavernous old picture palace is about to close its doors forever. A meagre audience, the remaining few staff, and perhaps even a ghost or two, watch King Hu's wuxia classic Dragon Inn - each haunted by memories and desires evoked by cinema itself.
An exquisite, wryly funny and tender tribute to the experience of movie-going, Tsai Ming-Liang's poignant love letter to cinema is one of the most beguiling and beloved dramas of modern times and is now widely regarded as a classic. Presented here in a new 4K restoration, Goodbye, Dragon Inn is more ravishing and hypnotic than ever.
