► Restored by Cinémathèque Royale de Bruxelles
The final screening of a closing movie palace in Taipei is King Hu’s classic "Dragon Inn." As the old wuxia film plays, scattered patrons wander the decaying cinema, their silent presences evoking longing, memory, and missed connections.
“This is a funny, sad, stunningly smart movie about the end of movies, made in Tsai's inimitable, unblinking style. No movie lover should miss it.” (Christian Science Monitor)
“Discarding plot in favor of a procession of finely evoked resonances with histories political, aesthetic, and personal, all flowing through a shared experience of a memorialized work of art, Goodbye, Dragon Inn makes much of seemingly little by attuning itself to loss.” (Metro Times)
“Tsai Ming-Liang always makes you feel that there's a world of life beyond his movies -- a world populated by ghosts that are as real as we are.” (Salon)
