This first movie by Edward Yang (and Christopher Doyle!) is often mentioned as the starting point of the Taiwanese New Wave. It is a deliberately complex, novellistic melodrama, a clear precursor of Yang's later masterpieces A Brighter Summer Day and Yi Yi. It's almost impossible to get hold of, and I hope this release will help people to appreciate the film. However, there are some good news, and some bad news.
The good news is that I did purchase the Taiseng VHS, got it digitized (HUGE thanks to fitz), and that the tape had Chinese and English subtitles.
The bad news is that the image/sound quality is pretty bad, the movie is quite miserably dubbed in Cantonese, and, furthermore, this appears to be the only commercial release available anywhere in the world...
Oh well, I did what I could... By the way, judging from the closing titles:
Hou Hsiao-hsien must have a cameo role in this film, even though I wasn't able to spot him...
THAT DAY ON THE BEACH
Edward Yang (1982) 166 minutes, 16mm.
Edward Yang's auspicious first theatrical feature announced the arrival a major new directing talent, and stands as a milestone in Taiwanese cinema. A complex, emotionally-charged contemporary epic exploring the position of women and the conflicting forces of modernity and tradition in Taiwan, the film stars superstar Sylvia Chang in a breakthrough role as Lin Chia-li, an independent-minded woman whose disappointing marriage appears to have ended by the presumed drowning death of her husband. The framing story has her meeting old friend Tan (Teresa Hu), a renowned concert pianist now living in Vienna who was once engaged to Lin's brother. The film is dreamily shot by Christopher Doyle, whose subsequent work with Wong Kar-Wai and Zhang Yimou, among others, has made him one of world cinema's hottest cinematographers. – Pacific Cinematheque
