Cinema Galerie: Millennium Mambo

Join us for a screening of Millennium Mambo, directed by the renowned Taiwanese filmmaker Hou Hsiao-hsien. Known as "a film-maker's film-maker", Hou is revered by many directors, including Jim Jarmusch, who has called him his "teacher". Despite his films rarely reaching wide audiences, critics praise him as one of the greatest storytellers in cinema history.

In Millennium Mambo, set against the vibrant backdrop of Taipei's rave scene, Hou immerses himself in youth culture, exploring themes of Taiwanese culture, history, and politics. His meticulous research included spending time in local discos and even experimenting with ecstasy, reflecting on the pressures faced by young people today.
