Abé Mark Nornes and Emilie Yeh, in their book Staging Memories, present an updated study of Hou Hsiao-hsien’s significant contributions to Taiwanese and world cinema, focusing particularly on A City of Sadness (Beiqing Chengshi), which won the Golden Lion award at the 1989 Venice Film Festival. Staging Memories is rooted in Narrating National Sadness, one of the earliest hypertext analyses in film studies. The book provides an analysis within the historical context of Taiwan, the political massacre depicted in A City of Sadness, and the history of Taiwan New Cinema. This background information is essential for viewers, which is why teachers have valued the hypertext version of the book for so long.
The book delves into an analysis of Hou's style, his portrayal of violence, and the intricate way in which he presents history in his indirect, long take style. It concludes with a chapter that examines a single sequence that ties together the various threads of the overall analysis.
