At the movies: Bu San/Goodbye, Dragon Inn.

 

The lovable freaks at Metrograph Pictures have brought Tsai Ming-Liang's 2003 masterpiece Goodbye Dragon Inn back to theatres in a lovely new restoration, and I got to write about it. It's a beautiful film, thankfully rescued from the clutches of the collapsed Weinstein Company (someday someone will write the story of how Wellspring was both a gift and a curse for global cinema), and encompasses so many emotional responses.
