Box 6 Blu-ray / Box 6 DVD
6 major films by the leader of the Taiwanese New Wave
Leader of the Taiwanese New Wave, Hou Hsiao-hsien (The Assassin) is today one of the most important directors of the world cinematographic scene and will have, from the beginning of his career, touched all genres: from the romantic comedy to the melancholic portrait of the urban youth of Taipei, passing through the adolescent chronicles of his autobiographical quadrilogy. Minimalist and without fuss, favoring sequence shots (which will end up being his trademark), his cinema seeks to stick to reality with poetry. Cute Girl, Green Green Grass of Home, Les Garçons de Fengkuei, A Time to Live, a Time to Die, Dust in the Wind and The Girl from the Nile: six early works to discover for the first time in their restored version.
