MISSING, THE
Its a (shockingly) sunny day in Taipei, and two people unknowingly share a similar fate: A grandmother is looking for her missing grandson, and a grandson is looking for his missing grandfather. Director Lee follows them on their search, mapping their geography of panic and rising incomprehension onto a city where history appears paved over, and where even outdoor parks have walls. Shot verité style, Lee films with a concealed camera as his actors weave through crowds, storm across streets and accost total strangers. As a result, The Missing is fascinating as a document of contemporary Taipei, an experimental vision of its public space that focuses not only on its look, but its citizens relationship to it.
