We hadn’t heard from the Chinese-born Taiwanese filmmaker since his 2015 wuxia epic “The Assassin.” Then, very early this year, there was news that his long-developing drama “Shulan River” was finally beginning location scouting (via IONCINEMA). It could very well be the master’s final film. Hou’s best-known films include “A City of Sadness,” “Flowers of Shanghai,” and “The Puppetmaster.” His style is as arthouse as it gets, but there’s a real beauty to his images that just sucks you right into its frames. We wish him well. Contribute Hire me
