Goodbye, Dragon Inn / 不散 (2003)
Tsai Ming-liang's elegiac masterpiece follows the final showing—of Taiwanese wuxia classic Dragon Inn (1967)—at a failing Taipei movie house, where ghosts, gays, and by-gone legends mingle, all haunting the theater in its final moments of life.
Director: Tsai Ming-liang
Cinematographer: Pen-Jung Liao
Starring: Lee Kang-sheng, Chen Shiang-chyi, Kiyonobu Mitamura, Jun Shih, Miao Tien, Chen Chao-jung, and Yang Kuei-mei

Film after film: Eat Drink Man Woman (dir. Ang Lee, 1994)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
A sprawling family drama about a widowed and soon-to-retire father with three adult daughters, neither of whom is married. Lee went on to direct Sense and Sensibility, which is more or less the same story (minus food, plus horses).

Yu-Wen Wang, Chien-Lien Wu, and Kuei-Mei Yang in Eat Drink Man Woman (Ang Lee, 1994)
Cast: Sihung Lung, Yu-Wen Wang, Chien-Lien Wu, Kuei-Mei Yang, Sylvia Chang, Winston Chao, Chao-jung Chen, Chit-Man Chan, Yu Chen, Ah-Lei Gua. Screenplay: Ang Lee, James Schamus, Hui-Ling Wang. Cinematography: Jong Lin. Production design: Fu-Hsiung Lee. Film editing: Tim Squyres. Music: Mader.
Ang Lee's Oscars for directing Brokeback Mountain (2005) and Life of Pi (2012) suggest something of his versatility. But then, Lee's filmography is all over the map: Since he returned to the United States after starting his directing career in Taiwan, he has made a Jane Austen adaptation, Sense and Sensibility (1995); a story of family dysfunction in Connecticut, The Ice Storm (1997); a Civil War-era Western, Ride With the Devil (1999); a martial arts epic, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (2000); a comic-book movie, Hulk (2003); an erotic thriller, Lust, Caution (2007); a story set at the fabled 1969 rock festival, Taking Woodstock (2009); and an experiment using radically new film technology, Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk (2016). If it's possible to discern in that almost random collection of films the kind of personal vision that auteur theorists believe is essential to the greatness of a director, I don't see it. He began with a personal vision, however, in the films he made in Taiwan after receiving his MFA in film at NYU: a focus on the conflict between the traditional and the new in Asian culture. Eat Drink Man Woman is the third of these, after Pushing Hands (1992) and The Wedding Banquet (1993), in what has been called Lee's "Father Knows Best" trilogy. Sihung Lung, who played similar roles in the other two films, is Chu, master chef at a large hotel restaurant, a widower with three unmarried daughters. The oldest, Jia-Jien (Kuei-Mei Yang), is a schoolteacher who converted to Christianity after a failed love affair; the middle daughter, Jia-Chien (Chien-Lien Wu), is a workaholic airline executive in line for a promotion that will get her transferred to Amsterdam; the youngest, Jia-Ning (Yu-Wen Wang), is still in school and works part-time at a Wendy's, where she commiserates with a co-worker whose boyfriend is inattentive -- largely because he's fallen for Jia-Ning. They all gather regularly for a Sunday dinner prepared by their father in a bravura opening sequence that details the skill and technique with which the chef creates his classic dishes. But the dinner is something of an ordeal for the daughters, each of whom is preoccupied with her own love life, as well as being concerned about the health and future of their aging parent. It's a well-plotted film, written by Lee with Hui-Ling Wang and James Schamus, whom Lee met at film school and who became his frequent producer and co-writer. Tim Squyres is the film editor whose work shines in the opening food-preparation sequence and in the intercutting of the daughters' several stories, and the cinematography by Jong Lin gives us an effective traveling shot through the crowded kitchens of the hotel restaurant. But the movie stays on a superficial level when it comes to examining the lives of the Chu family, especially when you compare it to another family drama by a Taiwanese director, Edward Yang's Yi Yi (2000), whose characters have a depth lacking in Lee's film. With his versatility and technical prowess, Lee reminds me most of a classical Hollywood director like William Wyler, who gave us brightly polished entertainments as varied in tone and genre as Roman Holiday (1953), Ben-Hur (1959), and Funny Girl (1968), but without showing us anything of himself as an artist.

Hi, Cat! I hope you’re having a nice day. Could I please fc help? I’m looking for someone who could play an older version of Stephanie Hsu. Thank you!
Chiao Chiao (1943) Taiwanese.
Elaine Jin (1954) Taiwanese.
Lu Yi-ching (1958) Taiwanese.
Pauline Lan (1958) Taiwanese.
Yang Kuei-mei (1959) Taiwanese.
Gigi Leung (1976) Taiwanese.
Trying to find darker skinned Taiwanese actresses was SO hard, sadly these are the closest I could find. In unedited/some photos they look similar but lightning is also harrrrrrrd. 💌

the hole probably my least favorite tsai ming-liang ive seen yet. its sort of a musical in that there are exactly 5 songs that are all very distracting and seem barely related to any feeling that we’ve been sitting in. outside of them though its got the typical breathing room that ive been enjoying and yang kuei-mei’s performance is like just as stunning as in vive l’amour. lee kang-sheng isnt bad necessarily but i found him a little more all over the place amd unreadable than in past roles

Wow. What a great cut and fade to black at the end. Brilliant! This is a slice-of-life look into a Taiwanese family and their relationships. The last act morphs it into a rollercoaster of twists and emotions. The final scene seals its greatness. MUST WATCH!
Eat Drink Man Woman (Chinese: 飲食男女) is a 1994 Taiwanese comedy-drama film directed by Ang Lee, from a script co-written with James Schamus and Hui-Ling Wang. It stars Sihung Lung, Wang Yu-wen, Wu Chien-lien, and Yang Kuei-mei.
