A Time to Live, a Time to Die
Why this pick
Its loose, memory-shaped episodes and unforced performances retain the tender, humorous attention to family and adolescence that gives The Boys from Fengkuei its emotional weight.
03
Taipei Story
Why this pick
A similarly restrained Taiwanese New Wave portrait of people outpaced by modern life, with everyday spaces, pauses, and awkward relationships carrying the drama.
04
The Terrorizers
Why this pick
For its precise urban observation and quietly destabilizing view of youth, chance encounters, and lives changing course; it is more formally intricate but similarly unsentimental.
05
Yi Yi
Why this pick
Though broader in scale, it offers the same clear-eyed Taiwanese humanism: gently comic, deeply observant scenes where generational distance and everyday choices accumulate into feeling.
