Drama Tip

Releasedatum: 15 februari 2005
Set almost entirely in a crumbling movie theater on its final night, acclaimed filmmaker Tsai Ming-Linag (What Time is it There?) crafts an elegant and tender valentine to the pleasures of moviegoing and the death of a cinematic age. Run by a lonely female ticket clerk (Chen Shinag-Chyi) and a young projectionist (Lee Kang-Sheng), the theater shows King Hu's 1967 martial arts epic Dragon Inn before darkening its screen forever. A sparse audience gathers- some attending to watch the film, others attending in search of a connection. When a young Japanese tourist (Mitamura Kiyononobu) encounters someone with a incanny resemblance to the swordsman in the film, we discover that comments about the theater's ghostly patrons may be more than rumors.
