NWAW at SIFF

May 26, 2016 By Northwest Asian Weekly

This Thai feature doesn’t show us the island until very late in the film. It’s not all that big on funerals either. What it does show us, for most of its 1 hour and 44 minutes, is three people arguing which direction to go in their car. One of them is always sure that at least one of the others is wrong — that they missed a turn, took a wrong turn, blew through an intersection, or got spun around in wide, slow-going circles.

“I Left My Tooth in Taiwan”

May 26, 2016 By Northwest Asian Weekly

Have you ever listened to that Tony Bennett song, “I Left My Heart in San Francisco”?

Like San Francisco, the densely populated and bustling city of Taipei, Taiwan has also captured a spot in my heart.
