Taipei Suicide Story

A movie that feels as superficial as profound on the subject of suicide normalization. This ambivalence, is in fact, something that works quite well in its favor. It doesn't strike as overly dramatic, but it still packs all the emotions one would expect when covering such a topic.

45 minutes were enough for me to feel close to the characters, to care about them, to wonder about their struggles, their dreams, their hopes, their disappointments.

I feel that, for some, this movie can come as quite provocative and insulting (to those for whom life is an unquestionable obligation and bless). If that is your case, this is probably not for you. For those who are willing to accept a view through which life is, most of all, an individual right, I definitely recommend these well-crafted 45 minutes.
