Viewing Notes
Incredible experience seeing this on the big screen. The 4K restoration looks great and has me hopeful for a new release on Blu.
Seeing this movie in a theater really enhances everything and those long takes and pauses on a shot have a greater impact. Contemplative, poetic and melancholic. You can feel the ache in every step Chen Shiang-Chyi takes as she hobbles thru the back halls of the theater. What a movie and such a treat to see on the big screen where the audience was so quiet you could hear even the softest of sounds in the film.
