What Time Is It There?

About This Movie

What Time Is It There? is a fascinating exploration of loneliness and connection. The film has this dreamy, almost surreal atmosphere, and it really takes its time, which might not be for everyone, but it works beautifully here. The pacing feels deliberate, allowing you to sink into the characters’ lives, especially that street vendor dealing with his own home-life struggles. The way he connects with the young woman heading to Paris is nuanced, their relationship feels authentic but also ephemeral. It’s shot with such a unique visual style, capturing the essence of Taipei and its vibrant yet melancholic vibe. Definitely a film that lingers in your mind long after viewing, thanks to its deep themes and subtle performances.
