When Cinema Reflects the Times: Hou Hsiao-Hsien and Edward Yang (1993)
映画が時代を写す時－侯孝賢とエドワード・ヤン
From the 1980s to the 1990s, New Taiwanese Cinema gained international attention for adopting a completely different approach to that of the commercial films which had preceded it. This piece contrasts Hou Hsiao-hsien and Edward Yang, two rivals who were the driving force behind New Taiwanese Cinema. The closing of a cinema invites us to reflect on society and the passage of history.
