Don you think this is a parallel to the series of films by the great Indian director, Satyajit Ray, that were recently purchased and restored by Sony?I say most of the series at the Albany Theater a couple of years ago, and it was a wonderful insight into life in India.

I have not seen movies by Satyajit Ray. The films by Hou Hsaio-hsien varies from one another. I've only seen one, the City of Sadness which depicts the life in Taiwan in 1947. The other films depicts mostly 1930s to 1950s China and Taiwan but is a reflection of current society in Taiwan. Since I've only seen one, it's hard for me to recommend which ones are must see. Please e-mail me with your e-mail address, and I can send you the short reviews which also gives some background information that would help you understand the films a little better.
