The story is about a couple from Taiwan travelling around a foreign island with Spanish speaking inhabitants. The guy has forgotten about the past and relies on his partner to guide him along.
Liked the interesting flashbacks but was confused about many other parts of the film!

Bedevilled
The story is about the reunion of two childhood friends when one of them took a long break from work and returned back from Seoul to her home town on an island.
Watched "Io Island" by Kim Ki Young prior to this, so I was prepared for the strange behaviour of the people living on the island! Liked how the director let the audience slowly piece together what happened in the past themselves.

Liked the old black and white footages of the children! Thought the girls looked quite cute with the gigantic ribbons on their head! The songs were nice too!

Images of Singapore from French Television 1964-1973
This consisted of several French short documentaries on Singapore shortly after becoming part of Malaysia.
Liked the footages of old Chinatown and depiction of what people liked to do during that era such as watching Chinese Opera in the streets! Didn't know even small children were interested in it back then!

Fear and Trembling
The story is about the working life of a Belgian woman in a Japanese company.
Liked how humor was used to introduce us to Japan's working culture that is highly hierarchical! The reference to "Merry Christmas, Mr Lawrence" was interesting too!

This consisted of several short films about Asia.
Liked the first segment of films with special effects especially the one with the Japanese Acrobats! The street scenes of Singapore in the early 20s was interesting to watch too!
