One example is In Our Time, which united four different directors and four different stories and received much adulation from the critics. The combination of Hsu Pu-liao and Chu Yen-ping offered another alternative for the audiences.
關懷台灣本土人文景觀的新電影，如結合四位新導演、四段故事的《光陰的故事》受到評論界支持；許不了和朱延平的組合，則提供觀眾另一個選擇。
