DRAGON INN d. King Hu, 1967 at The Prince Charles (27 SEP 18:00).

  • “After having the emperor’s minister of defense executed, a power-grabbing eunuch sends assassins to trail the victim’s children to a remote point on the northern Chinese border. But that bloodthirsty mission is confounded by a mysterious group of fighters who arrive on the scene, intent on delivering justice and defending the innocent.”

GOODBYE, DRAGON INN d. Ming-liang Tsai, 2003 at The Prince Charles (27 SEP 20:35).

  • “In Taipei, a movie theater is closing, but not before one final film is shown – DRAGON INN, a 1967 actioner and the source of nostalgia for the moviegoers and employees in the old, decrepit and possibly haunted building. The workers include eccentric projectionist Hsiao-Kang (Lee Kang-sheng) and a crippled cashier (Shiang-chyi Chen). The patrons include a Japanese tourist (Kiyonobu Mitamura) and two ghostly actors from the original film who have come to mourn the passing of an era.”

BALLOON d. Pema Tseden, 2019.

GAGARINE d. Fanny Liatard & Jérémy Trouilh, 2020.

THE MAN WHO SOLD HIS SKIN d. Kaouther Ben Hania, 2020.
