Taiwanese New Wave founder whose subject is political memory — the White Terror, emigration, and what a society agrees to forget. Less internationally visible than his contemporaries, and the films are correspondingly hard to find.
Signature
- Post-authoritarian reckoning treated directly rather than allegorically.
