During the emergence of Taiwan New Cinema, the state-run Central Motion Pictures played a significant role in not only fostering directors of the movement, but the development of Taiwanese cinema in general. Under its new management, the revamped Central Pictures Corporation has digitally remastered six classic films from the 80s and the 90s, producing brand-new digital prints that guarantee to overcome the test of time. After Dust in the Wind, four more of these films are arriving in high-definition on Blu-ray for fans to see these films the best way they have ever looked before.
Writer-director Chen Yu Xun's debut film is lighter than the works of other acclaimed Taiwanese directors at the time, but that doesn't diminish its significance. High school-bound Qiang unwittingly gets himself involved in the kidnapping of another young boy. When the head kidnapper dies, the remaining kidnapper turns the incident into a family affair in the process of figuring out what to do. What started as a heinous crime suddenly becomes a group effort to help Qiang get into high school.
This edition includes the film on both Region-free Blu-ray and NTSC Region-free DVD. The bonus DVD also includes director interview and making of.
