If you loved High Road to China, try A City of Sadness
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Theysit in Drama / History territory. If that's the register that drew you to High Road to China, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What A City of Sadness is
Taiwan’s White Terror meets a family saga. A clan fractures under KMT pressure between 1947 and 1987. The era’s quiet violence lingers through Hou’s layered long takes.
