Several Times Daily

About This Movie

Several Times Daily is a quirky 1969 comedy directed by Ralf Gregan that dives into the life of a Chinese language student looking for love. The film has this oddball charm, with a laid-back pacing that captures the awkwardness of romance and the trials of cultural misunderstandings. Gregan’s direction has this offbeat humor that makes mundane situations feel amusingly absurd. The performances are refreshingly genuine, with a cast that brings a certain warmth and playfulness to their roles. The atmosphere feels very much of its time, with practical effects and set pieces that ground the story in a relatable reality. It’s not your run-of-the-mill romantic comedy, and that’s what gives it its own distinct flavor.
