Character evaluation

Chen Kunhou is one of the most important directors in Taiwan. The themes of his feature films basically take place in Taiwan, where he grew up. The simple, honest and elegant, idyllic and beautiful natural landscape of Taiwan, a mellow rhythm like wine and smooth light and shadow, pour a film writer's concern for local culture. In his works, women's images are the most successful, with different personalities and graceful looks. Chen Kunhou always looks at them with warm eyes, and describes their fate and fortune in the historical and social background of close-up. (review of film art) Chen Kunhou's photography has a quiet and distant literary sentiment. He is good at grasping the action, eyes, posture of the characters and their reaction to the situation. His light and shadow tones are distinct, and the combination of exquisite interior and wonderful exterior produces a high degree of texture. In 1982, he shot the story of Xiao Bi, in which the distant calm position and the long lens sympathetic gaze on the characters produce an objective viewpoint. (time online review)
