1. You Are the Apple of My Eyes - Far East Film Festival
Giddens appeals to non-Taiwanphiles with his core story, about the unspoken love between Chia-yi and Ching-teng. The long-unrequited romance is not a fresh ...
When popular Taiwan novelist Giddens calls directorial debut You Are the Apple of My Eye an autobiography, he isn’t kidding. Not only did he name the hero after himself, he even shot a good portion of the film at his own high school. However, the film’s basic idea is universal: every high school clique has one girl that all the guys yearn for. For Ko Ching-teng (first-time actor Ko Cheng-tung) and his friends Boner (Yan Sheng-yu), A-Ho (Steven Hao), Groin (Tsai Cheng-hsien) and Tsao (Ao-Chuan), that girl is Shen Chia-yi (Michelle Chen, Hear Me, FEFF 12), the prettiest bookworm in the class. After Ching-teng and his friends get into trouble for masturbating in class (just the first of the film’s many self-gratification jokes), Chia-yi is asked by their teacher to keep an eye on Ching-teng. Reluctantly taking up the job, Chia-yi figures the first step to get her new ward back on track is to make him study. The bickering couple grows to become good friends, even as all of Ching-teng’s buddies continue to use wacky ways to pursue Chia-yi. The boys’ silly antics are simply variations of behavior you’ve seen in countless high school comedies. Giddens has unintentionally proven that high school life in most civilized countries must be similar, as the first half of You Are the Apple of My Eye is standard teen comedy stuff, like overused character archetypes (the Fat Kid, the Womanizer, the Joker, etc.) and a surprisingly high amount of sexual humor that’s comparable to that in Am...

[For the month of July, we will be covering the New York Asian Film Festival and the (also New York-based) Japan Cuts Film Festival, which together form one of the largest showcases of Asian cinema in the world. For our NYAFF coverage, head over here. For Japan Cuts, here.] It makes sense when a screenwriter becomes a director. There’s a clear, logical progression from one role to the next. It’s much stranger when an author becomes a director. Books are adapted to films all the time, but I can’t think of any adaptations (notable or otherwise) which were directed by the author. […]
