Description

Kuei-Mei, A Woman (1986). Director Chang Yi was a founding member of the Taiwanese New Cinema and contributed a chapter to the seminal anthology film In Our Time (1982). His career climaxed with this family melodrama – much more classically style than many TNC works. The story involves the many travails and years in the life of a woman (played by Hui San Yang) who and makes a disadvantageous marriage to Taipei widower with three children. Kuei-Mei won the most award in Taiwan but, after a final film (and sixth as director) that same year, Chang Yi and Hui San Yang turned to Liuli (traditional Chinese glass making).
