Projected Figures
the religious pluralism of Taiwan offers all manner of fresh frissons to Chen's second feature, as... God (or at least the writing team of Chen and Lou Yi-an) is shown to move in mysterious, if sometimes providential, ways.

The very first thing I realize was that the photography was too aggressive, it was almost fighting against the story in some parts, that hurts the film.
It's an ambitious story, which I thought probably too big for the director/writer to handle.

The down and out and quirky are becoming cliche in Taiwanese cinema, but this one is optimistic and has beautiful cinematography to boot.

An Inarritu film transposed to Taiwan but takes itself less seriously - it moves from black comedy to kitchen-sink drama and is therefore more entertaining.

Beautiful story about the lives of modern day taiwanese lonely people struggling to find happiness and love. Beautifully shot in Taipei and Taiwan countryside.
