Daughter of the Nile
October 13, 2023 @ 6:00 pm - 7:30 pm
$52 by Hou Hsiao-Hsien / New Restoration!
A rediscovered gem in the filmography of Hou Hsiao-hsien Daughter of the Nile is a neon-lit, contemporary drama named after a Japanese manga series. With Hou’s gentle but keen observation, the film follows a young woman and her brother as they float along the periphery of the Taipei underworld, intriguingly blending the gangster tale with mood-drenched introspective drama. Based on the personal experiences of screenwriter, Chu T’ien-wen Daughter of the Nile is a profoundly moving observation of marginalized youth.
