Prince of Tears

Prince of Tears Chinese pinyin Lei wangzi is a 2009 Taiwanese historical drama film by Yonfan. It was nominated for the Golden Lion at the 66th Venice International Film Festival. It tells the story of a family embroiled in the tragic White Terror suppression of political dissidents that was wrought during the 1950s by the Kuomintang government KMT after their acquisition of Taiwan in the 1940s.

Hong Kong film critic Perry Lam writes in Muse Magazine, Prince of Tears makes a strange moviegoing experience for, despite all the pathos two little girls lose their father, a loyal soldier loses his life and a happy family is torn apart the story is aesthetically shaped and distanced by the pictoral verve of the director to be eyepleasing at all times.
