(5) au reviour taipei


For an indie Taiwanese film, a close to full house theater must say something despite little publicity efforts. It's a beautiful film, though not exactly a 'best film' kind of film (the film did won Best Asian Film in this year's Berlin Film Fest). A winning formula that I had discussed with the Grasshopper; a mainstream but exciting story mix with indie/arthouse aesthetics. Thoroughly enjoyed the film and came out of the theater wondering why haven't a Singaporean made something like that?

On another note, I realise the lead bears an uncanny resemblance to...

Chong Ziliang. Right?
