Drifting Flowers

Piao Lang Qing Chun

(Taiwan, 2008, 97 mins)

35mm

NYC Premiere

Directed By: Zero Chou

From the maker of last year’s Spider Lilies, the quietly affecting Drifting Flowers tells the interconnected stories of three Taiwanese women living in different times but all seeking themselves. In the first segment, young May experiences jealousy when she spots her sister, a singer, kissing butch fellow musician Diego. Moving into the distant future, the second segment focuses on Lily’s old age, as she struggles with Alzheimer’s and the sickness of an old friend. Going back in time for the third segment, Diego’s adolescence provides the bridge between May and Lily – as a tomboy, Diego binds her breasts and discovers her dual loves: music and women, in the form of Lily, the lovely lead of a touring show.
