Why watch this film?
Selected at the 2003 Venice Film Festival -where it deserved the International Federation of Film Critics (FIPRESCI) award- 'Goodbye, Dragon Inn' is a contemplative ode to the experience of cinema itself: the act of watching a movie, the people, even people through a movie, life itself and memory, too. Defined by long takes, sparse dialogue, almost no camera movements and the idiosyncratic humor typical of director Tsai Ming-liang ('The Hole', 'What Time Is It There?'), the film also touches on several of the thematic axes in his filmography, such as isolation, distance, and the losses that come with the passing of time.
