Review: Millennium Mambo - Taipei Was Once Like This

Reported 11 months ago

Directed by Hou Hsiao-hsien, 'Millennium Mambo' not only portrays the story of Vicky and her boyfriend in an old Taipei apartment but also captures the essence of Taipei city. The film, re-released 23 years later, showcases the city in a moment of change, reflecting on past generations and the rapidly evolving urban landscape. Hou's gaze on the city and its people at a pivotal moment in time, marked by the turn of the century, offers a poignant and nostalgic reflection on Taipei's past and present, presenting a different perspective on the city compared to its current globalized image.
