“Hou is a one of the greats; he follows his own compass. His cinema is very elegant, intelligent... I love it. I discovered it recently with Millenium Mambo in 2001 and it captivated me completely. This film generated a lot of enthusiasm when it premiered at Cannes in 2015, and since then I’ve wanted to see it on the big screen. Finally the time has arrived.” (Lisandro Alonso)
