Blind Love

It goes without saying that many Asian films have the ability to explore family dynamics with almost unrivaled finesse. In this beautiful Taiwanese feature film, a mother, Shu-Yi, tries her best to keep her family together while dealing with an absent husband. Meanwhile, her eldest son becomes infatuated with a female photographer Shu-Yi knew well in her youth. This brings back memories and shatters the balance of the home she strives to preserve. With remarkable sensitivity, Julian Chou suggests that happiness lies not in conformity, but in accepting the subtle differences that make us human.
