Melodrama in its most generous form: mothers, actresses, grief, desire, and chosen family.
A hallucinatory spiritual fever dream. Bold, avant-garde, symbolism. One of my all-time favorites.
A political family drama about disappearance, memory, and quiet resistance. Tender but devastating.
A film of exile, longing, and spiritual exhaustion. I didn’t quite understand everything and I need to rewatch.
Body horror as liberation, violence as rebirth. Wild, free, and bold.
A whole life contained in one family. Anyone who likes Yi Yi is my friend.
A warm, clever comedy about family, performance, and the impossible choreography of love. Interesting to see how the western and Chinese culture collide.
Neon loneliness, romantic chaos, and people drifting through the city like beautiful ghosts. My favorite Wong Kar Wei movie.
