Review of Drifting

Drifting (2021)
8/10
some feelings
30 July 2021
After Rotterdam, it was brushed twice on the big screen. To be honest, putting this film in the first youth film exhibition was quite a dimensionality reduction blow. Whether it is perspective, completion, theme, or performance, they are the leaders in Hong Kong films and even young directors' works this year. Er brush noticed more details missed because of English subtitles. For example, Huige named the harmonica boy amu because it used to be his son's name, and their feelings were more effectively explained; Another example is the Saigon identity of the "master", which has a deeper meaning when connected with the political background. Although this is an angry film, it is interpreted in a most powerless and sad state, which may be the living state and psychology of many Hong Kong people at present. Therefore, this is not only a human film that pays attention to the bottom people, but also a film full of expression and wants to make a voice for more people. The scene where Xie Junhao and his son met again in front of the video will still burst into tears even if you watch it again.
