Still Here

About This Movie

So, there's this film called 'Still Here' from 2020, and it's got this really haunting vibe. Set in Kaohsiung, Taiwan, it dives into the lives of a few residents grappling with the abandonment of their village. The pacing is meandering, which lets you soak in the atmosphere. You can feel the weight of nostalgia and loss, almost tangible. It’s not flashy—no big special effects—but the performances are raw and grounded. The way they capture the struggle of holding onto a place that's fading away, it lingers with you. It’s all about the emotional pull of home, memory, and the quiet desperation that comes with change. Quite distinct in its approach, really.
