Prince of Tears (Chinese: 淚王子; pinyin: Lei Wangzi) is a 2009 Taiwanese historical drama film by Yonfan. It was nominated for the Golden Lion at the 66th Venice International Film Festival. It tells the story of a family embroiled in the tragic "White Terror" suppression of political dissidents that was wrought during the 1950s by the Kuomintang government (KMT) after their acquisition of Taiwan in the 1940s.[1]
The film was selected as the Hong Kong entry for the 82nd Academy Awards for Best Foreign Language Film in 2009.[2]

Reception
The film received generally negative reviews from the press.
Hong Kong film critic Perry Lam writes in Muse Magazine, "Prince of Tears makes a strange movie-going experience for, despite all the pathos - two little girls lose their father, a loyal soldier loses his life and a happy family is torn apart - the story is aesthetically shaped and distanced by the pictorial verve of the director to be eye-pleasing at all times."[3]
