青梅竹馬 (Taipei Story)

Film Synopsis

In booming Taipei, the seemingly bright future of a pair of childhood lovers is steadily weighed down by the past. Former baseball player Lung and yuppie career woman Chin face familial obligations, furtive lovers, and a growing sense of modern malaise to chase their elusive dreams of marriage and migration. The couple portray an affecting portrait of a generation and of a city caught in the throes of change.

Taipei Story is a 1985 Taiwanese film directed, scored, and co-written by filmmaker Edward Yang — his second full-length feature film and third overall. The film stars Yang’s fellow filmmaker Hou Hsiao-hsien, and singer Tsai Chin, whom Yang subsequently married. It is one of the earliest films of the New Taiwanese Cinema.
In the United States, Janus Films gave a limited release of the film’s 4K restoration, done by the World Cinema Project, on March 17, 2017.
