Talong

About This Movie

So, 'Talong' is this quirky little gem from 1999 that brings together art and agriculture in a way you don’t often see. The story follows Tiffany, a young artist, who finds herself enchanted by Edong, an eggplant farmer. What's really interesting is how the eggplant itself becomes a symbol of her quest, almost like a modern-day Cinderella narrative but with a twist. The pacing is a bit unconventional, which some might find charming and others might see as a flaw. The performances have a raw quality, and the atmosphere is light yet contemplative, which makes it feel almost dreamlike. Not your typical romantic story, it definitely stands out for its unique premise.

Finding a copy of 'Talong' can be quite a challenge since it hasn't been widely released outside of its home market. There are some VHS editions floating around, but they’re not very common. This film tends to attract collectors who appreciate its offbeat charm and the unusual premise that sets it apart from standard rom-com fare. It’s definitely one for those looking to fill their collection with unusual narratives.
