funny, original and ambitious, 18 September 2005
9/10
Author: dumsumdumfai from Canada

yes this movie reminds me of Amelie of a few years back but only on some of the techniques. The sardine factor reminds me of the opening scene in Joe vs. the Volcano. (Another wonderful film) And even the central story is not original, the way the director told it is absolutely fabulous. However, the story is told by a third person narrator so this may turn some people off. And I suspect there are some local sayings, plus loads of little bits of side tracks and idiosyncratic characters that I failed to understand. The movie also tries to address, or touch on many issues, some social, some environmentatl, and some personal I suspect.

I saw this at the end of a very long film fest of some very serious, slow paced, well-intentioned, low-budgeted not well-used, and on top, very personal movies. So this was a tension release for me and great fun to watch.

Also, watch for the band playing the theme song at the end when the credits roll.
