*This listing is for the standard edition version and does NOT come with a limited edition slipcase!* The peaceful animals of a Taiwanese forest live in harmony until a pack of wolves launches a brutal attack. Uncle Deer sacrifices himself defending the community and sends word to his son, the Deer Warrior. But the Deer Warrior is locked in a rivalry with Elk over the affections of the beautiful Miss Deer, a conflict stoked by the scheming Erotic Fox, who conspires with the wolves' leader. Incorporating elements from Aesop's Fables and performed entirely by live-action actors in animal costumes, this extraordinary Taiwanese-language fantasy from critic-turned-filmmaker Chang Ying was shot in the mountains of Beitou and is widely read as a political allegory of Taiwan under martial law. Restored in 2K by the Taiwan Film and Audiovisual Institute from a 35mm duplicate negative as part of the Taiwan Film Project, initiated by Taiwan's Ministry of Culture. Bonus Features: 1. A Deer in the Ruins of Paradise - On The Fantasy of the Deer Warrior. 32-page essay 2. Photo and Poster Gallery 3. Audio commentary with Patrick von Sychowski (Cultpix) and Shih-Ching Tsou (Director/Writer/Producer - Left-Handed Girl) 4. Taiwanese Cinema in the Sixties. Video essay by Adrian Smith
