If you loved Taipei Story, 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 territory. If that's the register that drew you to Taipei Story, 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.
