...film, a Taiwanese thriller called Silk started a half-hour late, but the audience didn't care. They applauded director Su Chao-pin as he entered the auditorium with his cast, applauded the 30-sec. film (of steps emerging from beneath the sea and up to the stars, to the swirling, twinkling music of Camille Saint-Saens' Carnival of the Animals), snapped more photos when the Festival logo appeared on screen and stayed through nearly two hours of conventional ghost-story frissons.
