GKS Posted August 29, 2022 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2022 The Falls (PG13) John Lui 129 minutes, now on Netflix, 4 stars <p>(FILES) This file photo taken on November 23, 2019 shows Taiwanese director Chung Mong-hong speaks after winning the Best Director award for his film "A Sun" at the 56th Golden Horse film awards in Taipei. - Chung Mong-hong is nominated for best director again for the 2021 Golden Horse film festival for his film "The Falls". Long dubbed the Chinese-language "Oscars", the Golden Horse Film Awards will kick off in Taipei on November 27 -- again without the legion of Chinese filmmakers and stars who once used to walk the red carpet. (Photo by Daniel Shih / AFP) / TO GO WITH Taiwan-film-festival-politics-China-HongKong,FOCUS by Amber Wang, Holmes Chan and Su Xinqi</p> PHOTO: AFP This drama from Taiwanese film-maker Chung Mong-hong picked up several prizes at the 2021 Golden Horse Awards, including for Best Feature Film. It was just added to the streaming service, where it sits alongside his other acclaimed drama, A Sun (2019). Both films, directed and co-written by Chung, put a focus on family bonds, especially the one between parents and their teenage children. It is a period fraught with tension, a time when the ties of duty and love between adults and their offspring are at their most strained. In the first year of the Covid-19 pandemic, a divorced mother and her teenage daughter are quarantined at home. Mother Pin-wen (Alyssa Chia) is facing pay cuts at work as the economy worsens, while daughter Xiao Jing (Gingle Wang) adds more stress at home with her inexplicably peevish behaviour. As the lockdown drags on, the strain on Pin-wen begins to exact an emotional toll. A couple of lockdown movies have been released by film-makers looking to make sense of a difficult time. Last year, the anthology The Year Of The Everlasting Storm framed the pandemic in several ways, including - like Chung's story - looking at a family forced to live in close proximity for weeks. This moving, often harrowing drama features strong performances from Chia and Wang as the mother and daughter trying to come to terms with each other's issues. Chung' sensitive writing addresses the idea of post-pandemic psychological trauma directly: As the medical disaster ebbs away, leaving destruction in its wake, viewers are asked to see that some families will emerge from the crisis permanently marked by invisible damage.
