High Resolution

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,

5.1

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.

Outstanding movie great storyline perfect actors even Parents. Must see film . Reality bites in a good way!

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".

This movie follows a young girl with no apparent ambition or job and her relationships, smoking and drugs. Supposed to be based on a book that I have not read. After the movie I wouldn't read it but I hope it is better than the movie. Would not recommend wasting time viewing since there are lots of really good movies out there.
