Odyssey 2024 Presents: Goodbye, Dragon Inn
TBC 81 mins
Goodbye, Dragon Inn is Tsai Ming-Liang’s quiet and mysterious ode to cinemas.
On one rainy night, the employees and lonely punters of a haunted cinema individually gather to watch a screening of the wuxia classic Dragon Inn before the cinema shuts its doors permanently. As a contemplative comedy it is slow cinema gem. Delicate gazes and peaceful long takes explore the mundanity and the absurdity of yearning in dilapidated environments.
Odyssey 2024 is a hybrid film festival taking place between 16 Sep and 16 Oct at selected cinemas and online.
