Housing

About This Movie

Housing dives into the life of Mr. Lin, a retired gentleman whose world revolves around simple pleasures like his grandson and leisurely golf games. Yet, there's this underlying tension in his fixation on homes with river views, set against a backdrop of relentless urban development. The documentary flows with a calm yet contemplative tone, inviting you into Lin's quiet obsession while hinting at the broader implications of gentrification and the disappearing landscapes of his city. It’s not flashy or edited for dramatic effect—it's more about the subtleties of everyday life. The pacing reflects his leisurely lifestyle, and though the director remains unnamed, the intimate portrayals provide a powerful commentary on change and nostalgia.
