Leon Dai

A master of Taiwanese cinema, Leon Dai was born in Taipei, Taiwan in 1966 and began his active film career in the mid-1990s. His directorial prowess spans across genres like drama and romance, with acclaimed films such as "No Puedo Vivir Sin Ti" and "Cannot Live Without You," both of which have won numerous awards including the Best Feature Film at the 46th Golden Horse Awards. Dai's unique authorial style often combines intimate storytelling with social commentary, offering a deep and thoughtful exploration of Taiwanese society. As a critic, I am often moved by Leon Dai's films, not only for their technical excellence and narrative depth, but also for their compassionate portrayal of human resilience.
