Film Watch

Nan guo zai jian nan guo [Goodbye South Goodbye]
Taiwan

Critic Arquello:
Hou encapsulates the fluidity of movement as a visual metaphor for the escapism and drug induced haze of the aimless protagonists. Through the characters' repeated pursuit of oblivion, Hou captures the transience and generational disconnection of contemporary Taiwanese from their traditional and cultural past.
