More It's funny how quickly the people you love become strangers.
I've seen a good number of movies with this set-up: non-Asian lives in Asian city (e.g. Tokyo, Bangkok) and the Asians who live there are props/background only. It's been a long time since I've seen an Asian protagonist who lives in New York, and everything about New York is background only. Watching that kind of dislocation was extraordinary. This was as gorgeous as it was painful.

Los Viajes del Viento is more than magical realism, accordion battles, and loss. It's the tension between the old and the new, the remembered and forgotten.
I love films that don't talk down to me.…
