Beiqing chengshi (City of sadness.) Film (1989) Taiwan, Drama. Catya writes:
It's a 'Robert Altman-type' film about the 1947 massacre (by the National Party), otherwise known as the February 28 Incident. The film revolves round the family whose lives are torn apart by the arrest of the youngest son who owns a photography studio. He's "deaf-mute" (the actor is hearing). It's a powerful, complex film. I believe it caused an uproar as the massacre incident was never discussed in public - until the film was released...
