    Memo to My Son

    HSIAO Ru-Chun 2015 Taiwan Documentary color 54min Mandarin HDCAM
    This woman detests her marriage and family life. Her husband sometimes yells at her, but sometimes can pick her up; her son is close to her but occupies her body too. This film uses lots of closeup shots; her figure is broken into pieces in her shattered life. Is this film strong enough to prove her misery? Why don't we ask: if her miserable life is not so "miserable" in those typical ways, how could she express her miseries?
