Goodbye Dragon Inn (2003)
On the last night before the old movie theater is shut down, a Japanese youth, despite the hard rain, comes running into the theater. The theater seems empty, void of life; yet there are some people, and some may not be people... (Wellspring Media)

I work in a movie theatre and lemme tell you the only part of this that I could relate to my experience is that there’s always a guest who gets annoyed by everything and obviously isn’t going to get laid that night

What the hell movie. How is nothing happening very slowly this poignant? Nothing keeps on happening until nothing stops happening and then nothing ends. There's a lot of high-level conceptual shit going on here but none of that really accounts for the lingering evocative punch (of nothing happening). Lingering unfulfillment, lingering gaze, lingering longing, lingering stream of piss. Poetry is a bitch. This movie haunted my brain. Would not recommend to anyone.

Excruciatingly slow, for little payoff. Some nice frames, but otherwise didn't take anything from it. Guess Tsai Ming-liang doesn't work for me without musical interludes... :/

A film that exists in the quiet corners of in-between, and raises mundanity to the level of magical realism, yet with a perverse humor that seems entirely Tsai's own. His patient observation of life's liminal spaces and moments is nostalgic but never somber or precious. Goodbye Dragon Inn, plays as much as anything, as a celebration of what once was.

It's probably not totally clear via the English subtitles that this is the last movie that will play the cinema and that Tien Miao (the old man with the little boy) and Chuh Shih (the rapt man sitting alone) were watching themselves in "Dragon Inn" the whole time.

Very fascinating conceptually but admittedly pretty tough to sit through - I love lingering shots as much as the next person, but I'm pretty sure this was just 80 minutes of lingering shots chained together.

i think tsai put that crippled woman and the way she cannot walk during the whole film into the story because as cinema is dying, when you watch that woman you are dying inside slowly with it too..

As a bittersweet meditation on the death of cinema as a communal experience, G.D.I achieves real resonance because the decline in participation mirrors the wider fragmentation of society as a whole. While there are loose narrative threads involving missed personal connections, it's the cinema itself that captivates, and Tsai brings this inanimate space to life via low key lighting and ambient sound to create a ghostly atmosphere that is evocative and rich and suffused with melancholy and loss.

A lament for things past and missed connections, reflected upon with utmost composure, and yet in its quiet solemnity there is a good deal of humor. For me it is neither difficult nor strained, but completely disarming.
