Taiwanese filmmaker Ming-liang Tsai's film Goodbye, Dragon Inn (Bu San) is a tribute to cinema, especially martial arts cinema, on the last night of Taipei's Fu-Ho Theater, a decaying martial arts film house. Ming-Liang's atmospheric film conjures up memories, old ghosts and late-night trysts between young men, and marks the end of an era for the theater, the cinephile passion to haunt movie houses, and for cinema itself. Goodbye, Dragon Inn is a kind of last picture show that patiently laments change, but cannot resist it.
