Jing-Jie Lin (Director) :
When I wrote this screenplay in 2002, it was initially for one of my best friends, Chen Ming Tsai; to showcase his enormous talent. At the time I thought he was one of the top performers in Taiwan, and that it was a shame that he had never been given a chance to show his true worth. Therefore I decided to make a film specially written with him in mind.
In August 2003, just before pre-production started, he went for a walk on his own to Du-lan Bay in Taidong on the east coast of Taiwan, and ended his life.
In August 2006, I decided to finish this film no matter what, in order to realize a promise made to my good friend, to display the strength of will of a film creator and to break free from the depression then present in the Taiwanese film industry with a group of sincere and passionate filmmakers.
This film is about the predicament of being human, and the pursuit of meaning regardless of the price. I believe that this is indeed the most distant course which, nonetheless, will reach the deepest place of everyone’s heart, through which one can reflect on and see the real self.
Cast:
Tz-yi Mo – Xiaotang
Siao-guo Jia – Acai
Lunmei Kwai – Xiaoyun

I watched this film on the plane from Singapore to Manchester. I found it totally engaging, not least because of the absolutely beautiful photography. Almost every shot is beautifully composed. It’s difficult to fault this film – it works on every level. Brilliant!
The poster and title look good…
