A DRIFTING LIFE
(Taiwan, 1996 123 min.)
Kun-cheng lives with his family
on their poor but stable farm. When his wife dies suddenly
in childbirth, he leaves the care of the farm and his
children to his parents, and embarks upon an affair
with a young widow. Several years pass in quiet discontent
until Kun-cheng's mother suffers from a stroke; his
daughter, a gifted student, stays at home to care for
her grandmother, thus missing her educational opportunities.
A Drifting Life suggests a vision of existence "as
a process of drifting in the currents of fate, without
hope or transcendent purpose." Godfrey Cheshire,
Variety. Also on 10/27.
