12/29/2012 Er Di/Drifters - a tender story about a father's wish to have a relationship with his son and the unfortunate cultural and situational context that prohibits that - may move a tad slow for some, and there are bits n' pieces of the storyline that may leave one slightly bewildered. However, it is nevertheless an impressive example of how little need be said (or done, for that matter) to express a continuum of emotions, especially when enhanced by stunningly thoughtful & intentional cinematography. See more 03/04/2008 Love Asian cinemetography and how they use dialogue, which usually isn't much. See more 12/10/2007 a bit slow, some poignant moments. oddly cold, considering the subject, a bit restrained. See more 10/06/2007 If you're looking for a good arts film, go somewhere else. See more 09/29/2007 The movie was ok, I'd give it 3 stars but I'll give an extra half because it's good material for my thesis :p See more 07/01/2007 this movie had so many things building up to it, but the end absolutely sucked. it was a cool glimpse into a life of an illegal immigrant, but really pointless in the end...
