“Father to Son” is one of those movies that take its time simmering in order to tell the story. While the pacing is slow, it never gets boring. Due to its characteristic editing, jumping from one temporary context to another continuously and without giving clear explanations, the film can become confusing at times, and even more at the beginning when the viewer does not stop asking questions. It is true that once the movie is seen, it does not leave many answers, but it does leave a clear message. The relationship between father and son is very well reflected, even if they are distant. Father to Son is directed by Hsiao Ya-Chuan, produced by Hou Hsiao-Hsien and starring Michael Jq Huang, Aria Wang, Fu Meng-Po, Chuang Kai-Hsun, Samuel K and Lu Hsueh-Feng among others.

And while diminished in volume in comparison to previous years, the 2018 edition does still offer a chance for directors who may otherwise get lost in the festival shuffle to make their mark apart from internationally-lauded selections such as Ash Is Purest White,...
