Knock, Knock, Academy Awards.Di 36 Ge Gu Shi, which literally translates to The 36th Love Story, is a film about the transformative power of shared human stories and dreaming.The theme is old (money doesn't buy happiness), but it is dressed anew, with Taiwan as the cinematographic landscape, a café where old objects and dreams are given a second lease on life, chocolatey pastries dream of creation, travelling around the world is the greatest education one can receive, love is found and love is lost and love is found again and transforms a dream into reality, story telling is priceless, and humans treasure each other more than anything else in existence. Deceptively simplistic and life-affirming, with vibrant Ameliésque framing [Amélie (2001)] and a sailing musical score, Di 36 Ge Gu Shi is a sophisticated meditation on the value of oral tradition and the grace of living.10/10Thanks Summer Lei & BIT Sound for the musical score, it's so pure and graceful, flowing like light rippling through ocean.
