About the film
Goodbye, Dragon Inn at a glance.
Screen Path places this 2003 film at stop 190 in one curated journey through cinema. The learning experience adds context before you watch and deeper analysis after.
On a dark, wet night in Taipei City, a cavernous old picture palace is about to close its doors forever. A meager audience, the remaining few staff, and perhaps even a ghost or two, watch King Hu’s wuxia classic "Dragon Inn", each haunted by memories and desires evoked by cinema itself.
