親親爺爺 Grandfather
越南 Vietnam │ 2012 │ 10min │ Phuong Thao DONG
傷害的話語劃過乾涸之地,生活彷彿回歸平靜,父親如常照顧失智爺爺的起居飲食。在導演的親密凝視之下,父子情感靜謐流動,終究以最溫柔姿態承認生命中必然的殘酷和脆弱,略有河瀨直美導演早期作品《親親婆婆》的影子。
Vietnamese filmmaker Phuong Thao DONG gets up close and personal with her father and her elderly grandfather, who still has a great head of gray hair but hardly knows where he is anymore. As the son puts it, "We need to learn how to listen so that we can be together."
