A Foggy Tale" is a sincere and quietly powerful film set during the White Terror era in Taiwan. It doesn't rely on melodrama or heavy-handed preaching. Instead, it lets the story unfold through silence, glances, and the simple yet profound interactions between people living under fear and confusion.
The characters are vividly drawn, and the film avoids the trap of simplifying history into black and white. In this story, good and bad are not bound by province or identity. Everyone, in their own way, becomes a passing landscape in someone else's life - some comforting, some haunting.
This film reminds us that in times of chaos, human decency still exists, quietly. A moving, thoughtful piece that lingers long after the credits roll.
