A screening of the modern day classic (restored to 4K) in celebration of Nick Pinkerton's new book on Goodbye, Dragon Inn. Australian premiere.

A beautiful love poem to the movies.

Slant Magazine

In an old Taipei movie theatre, on the eve of a "temporary closing", King Hu’s 1967 wuxia classic Dragon Inn plays to a dwindling audience. Lonely souls cruise the aisles for companionship while two actors from Hu’s film watch themselves writ large, perhaps for the last time. Cited by award-winning Thai director Apichatpong Weerasethakul (Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past Lives) as “THE best film of the past 125 years”, Tsai Ming-liang’s 2003 film Goodbye Dragon Inn is a modern-day classic; restored to 4K digital for a new generation of cinema fans to discover.

Please note this session is a screening only. The launch of Nick Pinkerton's new book on Goodbye, Dragon Inn will be held on Fri 12 Mar in the ACMI Shop with a drink on arrival – tickets available here.
