No Puedo Vivir Sin Ti (Bu Neng Mei You Ni)
Wen-Pin Chen, Yo-Hsuan Chao, Chih-Ju Lin, Ting-Ni Ma
A sensitive study of a disenfranchised father fighting the behemoth of civil bureaucracy.
Li Wu-Hsiung lives with his daughter in an illegal dockland hovel. Despite their insalubrious lifestyle, the two are happy until the child reaches school age, and the authorities intervene. Thoughtful and gently paced, this astute drama delivers a tense, riveting narrative that belies its quiet tone. Based on a true story and shot in crisp black and white, this is a deeply moving tale of family bonds that resolutely refuse to break.
