Jacky (2000)
Inbetween
24 September 2004
This movie is rare in Dutch cinema. A Chinese movie mostly but shot and made by Chinese living in Holland, mostly Amsterdam.
It's about a guy named Jacky who's caught inbetween Dutch/Western life and old traditional Chinese life. He has a girl flown over from China by his mother but that does not really work out either. As a gift to his mother he asks a singer to perform, much to his mother's dismay, showing who little he knows about Chinese culture.
The movie is sometimes a little slow and even though a movie with long silences does not have to be bad it sometimes is a little painful. The acting is fairly good.
It may give you a good sense of how it is like to live between cultures.
