DAUGHTER OF THE NILE
HOU HSIAO-HSIEN Taiwan, 1987
Hou Hsiao-hsein’s Daughter of the Nile stars pop musician Yang Lin as the center of a story revealing the shimmering ephemera of youth culture in 1980s globalized Taipei. Delicately crafted, Hou’s majestic family drama finds beauty, and profundity, in the stuff of everyday life.
