Retro Taiwanese New Wave Film Look (侯孝賢風格)

Apply a color grade inspired by Taiwanese New Wave cinema, particularly the films of Hou Hsiao-Hsien (侯孝賢). Features: muted, desaturated color palette with emphasis on earthy greens, faded yellows, and warm browns. Slightly overexposed highlights with a hazy, dreamlike quality. Shadows are lifted and never truly black — always with a warm brown or green tint. The overall contrast is low and gentle. Skin tones are warm but muted. The feeling should be nostalgic, contemplative, and poetic — like a faded memory of 1980s Taiwan. Subtle grain consistent with 35mm Fuji film stock. Natural, available-light quality with no dramatic lighting.
