Urban Anomie @ Taipei (台北健頭)

Thanks so much for your great offering. After seeing the "Three Times" that night, it brightened my night (and the following day), no kidding.

I never buy into the idea of viewing the premiere of the film festival if the commercial run is just around the corner, now I have changed my mind.


First, 中山堂's screen is big and the stereo amazing. And viewing with ardent audiences adds more fun. The atmosphere is engaging and enthusiastic. Everyone stays put till the final credit. (沒有人中途離場,且坐到最後一分鐘.)

Usually in the commercial run, the audience may be scarce and their patiences run short.

the first part of this trilogy, Hou Hsiao-hsien finally displays his sweetest and most accesible story ever... (right next to "Dust in the wind" 戀戀風塵)

getting a glimpse of 廖慶松 and 杜篤之 is also great!

Today's UDN said Jia Zhangke was there. (i think he is the best director now in China)
