The Cohen Media Groups has provided the an official domestic trailer for the new 4K restoration of director Hou Hsiao-hsien's film Daughter of the Nile (1987), starring Lin Yang, Jack Kao, and Chen Shu-Fang. Currently, The restoration is playing in select theaters across the nation.
A Blu-ray release of Daughter of the Nile is expected to be announced early next year.
Synopsis: Often overlooked, Hou Hsiao-hsien's Daughter of the Nile (Ni luo he nu er), a fascinating attempt to portray the anomie felt by Taiwanese youth of the mid-1980s (based in part on incidents in the life of screenwriter Chu T'ien-wen), came between the period pieces that established the director on his home ground and around the world. Even Hou himself has been hard on the film and its main actress, pop star Yang Lin, in the role of a teenager trying to make a living, care for her volatile older brother (Jack Kao), find love, and define herself all at once. Nevertheless, Daughter of the Nile is a rich experience from a formidable filmmaker.
