      Panos Kotzathanasis Asian Movie Pulse Despite the aforementioned issues, “Winds of September” is a very meaningful and entertaining film when it focuses on its main arc, which is where its true value lies. Rated: 7 Mar 3, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews

      Audience Member A male-orientated movie that depicts the fickleness of youth and friendship. It is hard to equally distribute the focus between 9 people so I can say it is quite lacking of depth. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Audience Member Before < You Are the Apple of My Eye >, there was already one concrete, quality bitter-sweet coming-of-age film made in Taiwan. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Audience Member åæ...å?¯ä»¥æå?-å°æ?é·çæ»<å'³ï 1/4æ 1/4"å"¡æ 1/4"æå?¯ä»¥å?æ>´å¥ 1/2 Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member Thanks Vivian for recommending me such a touching movie. Although the spectrum of the Taiwan teenage movie has beome quite conformed, it has never disspointed me. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Audience Member With Winds Of September writer/director Tom Lin settles himself comfortably within the Taiwanese filmmaking tradition, which in essence means slow paced drama with gorgeous visuals. His approach towards the coming of age drama is also quite traditional, relying on old but reliable innocence lost ingredients. But given that Lin learned the tools of his trade as assistant director to Tsai Ming Liang, his work certainly shows that arthouse cinema is not the only way to go, pointing the way for other(admittedly more commercial) Taiwanese films, like this year's superb Monga. While Heiward Mak's Hong Kong chapter of the same story indeed packs an entirely different punch, Winds Of september impresses not so much with style as with emotional involvement, making us remember the misery and joy of our own teenage years. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review Audience Member 這是六年級中段生看了都會有相當感觸的一部電影. 青澀的高中歲月在林書宇導演的執導下真實浮現眼前, 哥兒們間的細微情感, 撞球，漫畫，抽煙，職棒，把妹，MTV....等等元素的掌握貫穿整部電影. 許多精心安排的小細節每每讓我會心一笑. 開小湯玩笑時買的Oligo, 當時的國文課本, 三角函數, 撲克牌遊戲心臟病, BBCall, 信紙的折法, 星星許願瓶, 飯島愛, 撞球間伍佰愛情的盡頭背景音樂以及小芸和阿彥MTV選片時阿妹的原來妳什麼都不想要, 還有人人羨慕的NSR等等等等....一不留神就會掉入時光旋渦. 過去的記憶印象隨著故事的進行似乎也重疊了起來, 界線越來越模糊.... 劇終片尾曲選的恰到好處. bd Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
