Country: Taiwan
Director: Huang Hsin-yao
Cast: Cres Chuang, Bamboo Chen, Leon Dai & Na Dow.
Pickle works as a night security guard at a factory and To make ends meet, he also plays drums for a band. His only friend, Belly Button visits him on his night shifts to talk and watch car dash-cam videos of the factory's owner.
“The life of the rich is so colorful!”
With a single shot, the movie 'Pariyerum Perumal' shows us the caste difference between two people. Like that scenario, In 'The Great Buddha +' the world of rich and poor is lensed in two colors. The car dash-cam footage is shown in color, meanwhile, the life of Pickle & Belly Button is shot in black and white. This is the debut feature film of Taiwanese director Huang Hsin-yao and an extended version of his 2014 short movie “The Great Buddha”. His observations on economic disparity are evident from the beginning and his voiceover helps to add empathy for the poor. Overall, It's an art-house movie that serves up a voyeur’s dream and a thought-provoking one if you look deep into the plot.
Verdict: Good
