Ri Yao Ri Shih San Pu Zhe plot

Inspired by avant-garde artists from the West, in particular surrealists such as André Breton and Jean Cocteau, in 1933 seven men founded a collective of poets in Taiwan, which had been occupied by Japan for forty years. The name 'Le Moulin', also the title of a literary magazine that appeared only four times, referred not only to the French affiliation, but also to the fresh wind that the company wanted to blow through the Taiwanese poetry landscape. With a mix of old film fragments, re-enacted scenes, literary passages, spoken lines of poetry and traditional songs, the young director Huang Ya-li brings the progressive poets back to life, after decades of being forgotten, in a film essay that is both lyrical and uncompromising.
