TAIPEI by Jason Lester Romance under influence - USA, first feature film 96 minutes

"Think Romeo and Juliet meets Trainspotting" - Filmfestivals.com Bruno Chatelin

Taipei%20Still%207.jpeg

Taipei is an adaptation of Tao Lin’s critically-acclaimed, cult favorite novel of the same name.

Two young New York writers fall in and out of love amidst a whirlwind of drugs, parties, technology, and travel. As one relationship collapses, another blooms for Erin, swept into the world of Paul Chen, a mysterious, charismatic author. When he proposes documenting every aspect of their new romance in an epic laptop-filmed “documentary”, the couple enter into a performative bad romance, fueled by substances and sleepless nights. Tracking the pair through a shotgun Niagara Falls wedding, an LSD trip in a New Jersey mansion, and to Taiwan, the country of Paul’s birth where the couple comes to confront their individual alienation, Taipei is a visually stunning, extremely contemporary portrayal of what it means to be young, alive, and in love in a digital world.

Je ne vais pas présenter l’ensemble du film sur le célèbre jazzman Ray Charles, film qui a valu à l’acteur principal, Jamie Foxx, un oscar. Il faut dire que son interprétation était très convaincante. Mais une séquence m’a particulièrement touché (à 1h 06’), comme il arrive parfois lorsqu’on regarde un film, et je dois préciser qu’il s’agit d’une interpr&e...

Pour que la personne soit condamn...
