High Resolution

Some pacing issues, but overall hyper engaging and stylized. Great use of color. Both actors in the leads really believable. Would recommend to people to watch it.

Excellent sound editing- particularly the use of saturated moog, stereo panning and compression to simulate the aural qualities under drugs. The cinematography was fantastic too, especially the taiwan sequence. Can't say much about the plotline- it was the sort of book that cannot be ported to movie in any concise manner with its stream-of-consciousness mode of prose.

Justin Chon's character was a quite faithful representation of Tao Lin, capturing the monotonous deadpan demeanour fans cherish the author for.

Worth a watch, but perhaps not a whole lot beyond that.

Watched on Showtime. Adaptation of the Tao Lin novel "Taipei". Changes some elements of the book but preserves many others. Loved this movie's visual style and interesting narrative, and got swept up in the romance even though I could tell it was going nowhere good. Think this will become a future cult classic in the vein of "Enter The Void" or "Trainspotting".

Great performance by the two leads. Cinematography spot on.

I did enjoy parts of the movie but it deff. won't be a cult classic as it lacks substance. The visual styles of the movie were good and the acting was ok, but the plot lines seemed to go no where,
