2019

His fourth feature film The Garden of Evening Mists (2019) is an adaptation of the Booker Prize-shortlisted novel of the same name. It is a wartime romance set during and after the Japanese occupation of Malaya about a former Japanese POW who travels to the Cameron Highlands to build a garden for her dead sister.

Lin and co-writer Tsai Tsung-han won Best Original Screenplay at the 45th Golden Horse Awards.

Lin cites Taiwanese New Wave Cinema directors Edward Yang and Hou Hsiao-hsien as major influences, in regards to "their spirit and ideology, rather than technique and visual styles."
