2005 release

The film was shot in 2003 during the SARS period. Completed by one shot, including opening and closing credits. Unlike other long-take films, the technical content of this film is close to zero. As a "drama film" performed by actors, the emptiness of its plot is unprecedented. One of the two leads even fell asleep during the performance. Every ten years, I would seriously remake this absolutely incompetent film. So, this is both my first "movie" and will be my last "movie".

This dance film presents Dream of the Red Chamber as reimagined by Lin Hwai-min and performed by Cloud Gate Dance Theatre of Taiwan, directed for screen by Chang Chao-Tang. Inspired by the classic Chinese novel, the story centers on the fragile love between Jia Baoyu, Lin Daiyu, and Xue Baochai, set against the rise and fall of a great aristocratic family. Lin’s choreography frames the tale as a memory: a young man who has left the garden looks back on a vanished world. The Twelve Beauties appear in flowing, embroidered costumes, moving through falling flowers and shifting seasons. Classical imagery merges with contemporary dance, creating a restrained yet lyrical visual language. Premiered in 1983, the work became one of Cloud Gate’s signature productions. In 2005, Lin retired the piece as the company turned toward a more austere, introspective aesthetic. This film preserves a late-stage performance, documenting a key work from Cloud Gate’s early repertoire.
