The London venue brings more classic films from Taiwan…

The Garden Cinema are once again bringing masterpieces from Taiwan to London with the return of Taiwanese Cinema: Now and Then, supported by the Ministry of Culture, Taiwan. As with their autumn programme from last year, they will be showcasing superlative work from filmmakers both old and new.
This year they are spotlighting the early films of the most successful Taiwanese director of all time, Ang Lee, with screenings of all three entries in Lee’s loose ‘Father Knows Best’ trilogy. Before his success in Hollywood, Lee made a huge impact in the early 1990s with two stories of Taiwan immigrant families in the USA, Pushing Hands (1991) and his Golden Bear-winning The Wedding Banquet (1993). The trilogy is completed by Lee’s delectable ‘return’ to Taiwan, Eat Drink Man Woman (1994).
