Yi Yi is the only other one of his I've seen, definitely want to see Taipei Story.

I suspect you'll have the same response. Taipei Story boasts an even better sense of geography.

I was saying in the Sight and Sound thread that his masterpiece is A Confucian Confusion. Wouldn't recommend Mahjong.

I saw Brighter Summer Day at a showing where a (no doubt neurodivergent) man kept laughing uproariously at all the most inappropriate, saddest parts. Bit of a difficult situation, I obviously didn't say anything, guy should be allowed to see a movie w/o getting hassled, but I won't say it didn't affect my enjoyment.

My screening of Brighter Summer Day at that Close-up season (talked about upthread) was as perfect an afternoon at a cinema as you could get.

caught the mahjong restoration at the lincoln center retrospective, it's good if minor, dunno why all the hate.
