Beeginnings: Hou Hsiao-hsien & the New Taiwanese Cinema
Cute Girl
Jiu Shi Liu Liu De Ta
Taiwan
| 1980 | Hou Hsiao-hsien
The first feature by future Taiwanese master Hou Hsiao-hsien is a lightweight, music-filled romantic comedy featuring two Chinese pop stars (Hong Kong’s Kenny Bee and Taiwan’s Feng Fei-fei). It tells of factory owner’s daughter, betrothed to an exchange student she's never met, who visits a rural village and falls in love with a surveyor there. Hou’s love of the Taiwanese countryside is easily seen in this commercial confection in color and scope.
Mandarin with subtitles. 35mm. 90 min. Special admission $10; members, CIA I.D. holders, and those age 25 & under $8; no passes, twofers, or radio winners.
