The acclaimed series returns with seven more films about prominent Taiwan and Hong Kong writers in its second installment, The Inspired Island II . In 1959, Taiwan poet Lo Fu began writing his representative Death of a Stone Cell while serving in the army on Kinmen Island. The lauded surrealist long poem would upturn the literary world and inspire writers for generations to come.

The film is directed by Wang Wan Jo, who served as a producer on the first The Inspired Island series' Port of Mists and an assistant director and editor on The Coming of Tulku . This edition comes with the film on Blu-ray and DVD, a book about Lo Fu and 76 minutes of special features .Other products from YesAsia |
