In a decaying Taipei movie theater with several hundred seats, a handful of viewers turn up to see a screening of King Hu’s martial arts spectacular, Dragon Inn. The motley denizens of the cinema include senior citizens, pickup artists on the prowl, a lonely ticket clerk and a young projectionist. Co-presented with WUD Film.
