The final screening of a closing movie palace in Taipei is King Hu’s classic Dragon Inn in a nearly. As the old wuxia film plays, scattered patrons wander the decaying cinema, their silent presences evoking longing, memory, and missed connections.
« This is a funny, sad, stunningly smart movie about the end of movies, made in Tsai's inimitable, unblinking style. No movie lover should miss it. » (Christian Science Monitor)
« Discarding plot in favoring a procession of finely evoked resonances with histories political, aesthetic, and personal, all flowing through a shared experience of a memorialized work of art, Goodbye, Dragon Inn makes much of seemingly little by attuning itself to loss. » (Metro Times)
.
« Tsai Ming-Liang always makes you feel that there's a world of life beyond his movies -- a world populated by ghosts that are as real as we are. » (Salon)
