The Taiwanese Lgtb love drama “Your Name Engraved Herein” opens with the popular quotation from The Song of Solomon 8:7 about the power of love that can neither be quenched by water, nor drowned by the floods: “If a man would give all the substance of his house for love, his offer would be viewed with utter contempt.” And the religious reference is in its right place as an introduction to the interesting chapter of the Taiwanese (relatively recent) history marked by political changes, which was at the same time stuck in stubborn conservatism.

Winner for Best Cinematography, Film Score and Sound Effects at the 55th Golden Horse Awards, and a spawn of much controversy, “Kaili Blues” director Bi Gan’s second feature film is definitely a treat for the eyes, although the noir/crime package that surrounded its release is actually a “pretense” for an art-house, quite abstract work, that seems as the logical next step after his debut. Furthermore, the rather big budget allowed the director to cast actresses like Tang Wei and Sylvia Chang along with a rather experienced crew, and to present an almost hour long, one shot in 3D. Let us take things from the beginning though.
