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.
The winner of the Golden Lion at the 1994 Venice Film Festival and three Golden Horse Awards - including Best Picture - Tsai Ming Liang's second film follows three lonely strangers in modern Taipei: Suicidal salesman Hsiao Kang, real estate agent May Lin, and street vendor Ah Jung. Through the strangers' encounters with each other in an empty unsold apartment, Tsai explores tedium, isolation, and sex in the big city.
