COMMUNITY REVIEWS

To Si’r with love submitted by tarascon on April 22, 2024, 12:58pm Reading German or French subtitled translations of idiomatic expressions often present some goofy and\or puzzling banalities. It’s a kind of foreign film buff’s sport to catch them…
What might be the case with this fine, situational Taiwanese film (some of the interior framing is reminiscent of Ozu)? It asks for, and merits, patience to explore a culture not all that different from the western democracies though I suspect some of the courser expressions may be anachronistic.
