About This Movie

Drifting (2025) really tugs at the heartstrings with its raw portrayal of Lin Song-ji's life. The documentary feels personal, almost like you're peeking into an intimate diary. The pacing is contemplative, allowing you to soak in the rich atmosphere of Hualien and the complexities of Lin's experiences. It weaves Taiwan's history with Lin's personal struggles, especially his identity as an Amis man amidst changing landscapes. The practical effects are minimal, yet impactful, grounding the narrative in a stark realism that resonates. Lin's performance—if you can call it that—feels authentic and unvarnished, capturing the essence of resilience. It’s not just a film about a man; it’s a lens into a culture navigating its own evolution.
