A-li 88 is a striking documentary that captures the stillness after the storm. The film's atmosphere is heavy, almost palpable, reflecting the devastation wrought by Typhoon Morakot in 2009. It ventures into the Alishan Mountains, where the landscape tells its own story of loss and resilience. Huang Hsin-yao's approach feels both personal and observational, as he documents the haunting remains of a once-thriving tourism industry. The pacing is deliberate, allowing you to absorb the weight of the natural disaster's aftermath. There's a raw honesty in the imagery—nature's beauty tarnished but enduring. It's not just about the storm; it dives into the lives affected, making the film a layered experience that resonates long after viewing.
