The “Taiwan History Trilogy” is a loose thematic grouping of films by Hou Hsiao-hsien, consisting of A City of Sadness (1989), The Puppetmaster (1993), and Good Men, Good Women (1995). While not connected through a continuous narrative, these films are united by their deep engagement with key moments in Taiwanese history and collective memory, tracing the island’s social and political transformations across different eras.
