The Personals 1998
The Personals ★★½ 1998
Fed up with her boring love life, Dr. Du Jiazhen (Liu) takes out a personal ad and gets 100 responses. The body of the film is made up of the interviews she conducts with these men—well, most of them are men. Other filmmakers have made more of the same premise, but director KuofuChen keeps his camera squarely on his characters. The Taiwan setting is a bit exotic. Liu's performance is a model of restraint. Mandarin with subtitles. 104m/C VHS, DVD . TW Rene Liu, Wu Bai; D: Kuo-fu Chen, Shih-chich Chen; W: Kuo-fu Chen, Shih-chich Chen; C: Nan-hong Ho.
