‘The Chronicles of Libidoists,’ ‘A Foggy Tale’ Among Golden Horse Goes to Cannes Showcase


Taiwan’s Golden Horse Film Festival heads to Cannes with five upcoming projects including 'The Chronicles of Libidoists' and 'A Foggy Tale.'

To be presented May 16, the five films comprise new works from directors Chen Yu-hsun, Yang Ya-che, Huang Xi, Giddens Ko and John Hsu, with such high-profile producers as Lee Lieh, Sylvia Chang, Aileen Li, Jeffrey Chan and Hou Hsiao-hsien. In “A Foggy Tale,” “My Missing Valentine” director Chen delivers a tear-jerking drama about a young girl who, some 70 years ago, takes on a dangerous journey to bring back the remains of her family. Taipei’s most celebrated actor and producer, Sylvia Chang, reteams with director Huang Xi after working together on HBO series “Twisted Strings,” this time on “Daughter’s Daughter.” With a strongly female perspective, the film takes a deep dive into mother-daughter relations and in-vitro fertilization.
