Yang Kui, from 1997, is a unique dive into the world of a Taiwanese writer. It has this raw, unfiltered quality that really gives you a sense of who he was—his struggles, his thoughts, his passions. The pacing is a bit meandering at times, which might throw off some viewers, but it feels right for a documentary that’s more about exploring character than hitting a narrative beat. There's a certain intimacy in the interviews and the way it captures his environment that just pulls you in. It's not flashy, and the practical footage feels almost like a time capsule of Taiwan during that era. Definitely a film that lingers with you, if you're into that reflective style of storytelling.
