TAIPEI STORY 🇭🇰 Film Screening (Eng subs)

FOMO Secret Cinema, Tbilisi

Edward Yang, one of the founders of the Taiwanese New Wave, creates a deeply human portrait of disconnection and nostalgia in TAIPEI STORY, th follow-up to his break out debut THAT DAY, ON THE BEACH.

Co-starring fellow director Hou Hsiao-hsien, the film examines the quiet unraveling of a couple caught between past and future in a rapidly modernizing city, using urban landscapes to mirror emotional decay.

Critics celebrated it for its subtlety, restraint, and social insight, calling it one of Yang’s defining works. TAIPEI STORY captures the ache of modernization. Not as progress, but as a quiet erosion of identity. It’s intimate yet universal, a love story turned elegy for a vanishing culture.

Presented in the original Mandarin with English subtitles.

If you're a fan of Asian cinema, or looking for an introduction to Cinema that's rarely screened in this corner of the world in Tbilisi, TAIPEI STORY is a classic from the master auteur who gave us YI YI (2000).
