The screening on April 24 will be preceded by an introduction by Mehelli Modi, curator of the section Second Run Presents.

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 now widely regarded as a classic. Presented here in a new 4K restoration, Goodbye, Dragon Inn is more ravishing and hypnotic than ever.

Mehelli Modi

Tsai Ming-liang (b. 1957) – Malaysian filmmaker living in Taiwan, one of the most important contemporary filmmakers, and an admirer of the French New Wave. He has won numerous awards, including a Golden Lion in Venice for Vive L’Amour (1994). He is known for making contemplative films that, at the same time, do not shy away from using genre conventions. His work includes a musical about the porn industry (The Wayward Cloud), as well as an intimate, apocalyptic science fiction film (Hole).

A beautiful love poem to the movies.

– Slant Magazine

Goodbye, Dragon Inn is a movie about watching movies that holds up an inquiring mirror to its audience. Few films have so lovingly evoked the dream life of a particular space—a storehouse of memory and fantasy, exerting its pull well after the last picture show has unspooled.

– Dennis Lim, Village Voice
