A TIME IN QUCHI
Directed by award-winning writer-director Chang Tso-chi (though now controversial), A TIME IN QUCHI follows a boy’s coming of age during his summer vacation in the rural Quchi. Away from the familiar high-tech gadgets, Bao begins to see his grandpa’s idyllic life with a fresh eye and finds creative means to engage in the sourrounding. With poetic visuals and sporadic touches of humor, the film deals with such deeper themes as loss, separation and secrecy. Nominated for the Golden Leopard Award at the 2013 Festival del film Locarno, A TIME IN QUCHI has brought back fond memories of Hou Hsiao-hsien’s classic A SUMMER AT GRANDPA’S (1984).
