Dear friends,
If you want to see some of Tony's early work, I strongly recommend Beiqing chengshi - A City of Sadness. The movie was filmed in Taiwan and directed by Hou Hsiao-hsien in 1989.
This is a subtle but sensational movie, triggering a lot of thoughts and emotion. The sadness of the movie and Tony's acting is just over-whelming.

Yes, I read about it somewhere before but forgot where. Last year when Celestial movies ran a story about Hou Hsiao Hsien (I am not sure of the spelling here), the diretor of the City of Sadness, it was inserted in the footage. I was and still am interested to see it.
I wonder how to get videos that have been long out from the market like this one. Any ideas? |

Hi redstar,
I don't know whether there is HMV in Jakarta, but I would image any decent size dvd shops with international film collections will have it. Or, you can try eBay. The book and the CD are just as good.
Best,
