Curiosità

Daughter of the Nile is a 1987 Taiwanese film directed by Hou Hsiao-hsien.

Background

The film's title is a reference to a character in a manga called Crest of the Royal Family who is hailed as Daughter of the Nile. The film is a study of the life of young people in contemporary Taipei urban life, focusing on the marginalised figure of a woman and centred on a fast-food server's hapless crush on a gigolo.

It features Taiwan pop singer Lin Yang, Jack Kao (Kao Jai) as her brother, and Tianlu Li in the role of the grandfather. Li became a central part of Hou's major films, and Kao starred in several of them.
