Goodbye, Dragon Inn
Directed by Tsai Ming-liang
Produced by Homegreen Films
A meditative elegy for cinema itself, where the closing of a movie palace becomes a meditation on memory, mortality, and the ghosts that linger in dark theaters.
On a dark, wet night in Taipei City, a cavernous old picture palace is about to close its doors forever. A meager 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.
