Taiwan

market, 

can

undoubtedly 

be

classiﬁed 

as

prestige

internationally, 

however, 

is

disproportionate 

to

its

size 

and

can

be

largely 

attributed 

to

a

quartet 

of

directors 

with 

an

status: 

Hou

Hsiao-

Edward 

Yang, 

Ang

Lee, 

and

Tsai 

Ming-liang. 

Indeed, 

these 

four 

directors 

are

collectively 

responsible 

for

almost 

all

the

top

prizes 

that 

Taiwan 

cinema 

has

won

at

the

three 

most

sometimes

have 

also 

attracted 

a

fair 

amount 

of

criticism. 

Producing 

ﬁlms 

that 

are

considered 

art

cinema, 

these 

directors 

have 

routinely 

been 

named 

as

culprits 

for

the

decline
