(aka 'Nanguo zaijan, nanguo' or 'Goodbye South, Goodbye')
Hou Hsiao-hsien's films are composed of a series of long takes--each with its own distinct feel--during which a static camera records the unfolding of events. In this film he has added equally long traveling shots--from a train; through the windshield of a car; of Kao, Flat Head and Pretzel on motorcycles. The director relies upon his camera, whether it is still or on the move, to patiently disclose the character of complex situations and relationships.

Comments: |
Although far from perfect, this image is far superior to the dual release of Hou's Good Men, Good Women by Fox/Lorber. There is still evidence of 'combing' but it is less pronounced. The image is again non-anamorphic and non-progressive plus surrounded by a thick black border inhibiting full horizontal resolution. Colors appear quite true and bright. Subtitles are still an awful yellow. No worthy extras to speak of. We are investigating the MK2 edition (HERE) quality and will hopefully compare one day soon (it reportedly does NOT have English subtitles). out of |
