It’s been a week full of firsts for me—first day at a new job, first day volunteering—but I still managed to squeeze in a free screening during Canadian Film Week: My American Cousin. I’m not Canadian, but I love learning more about the culture of the country I’m living in, and I want to embrace and appreciate it from a local’s perspective. I booked the ticket at the last minute, so I didn’t realize there would be a Q&A with the director afterward—such a lovely surprise, to be honest.

Synopsis of My American Cousin (from VIFF):

“Dear Diary. Nothing Ever Happens.” Sandy Wilcox (Margaret Langrick) longs for adventure and a modicum of respect. Neither is readily available to a 12-year-old growing up in rural Penticton in the late 1950s. Enter Butch in a screaming red Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz. He’s 16 going on James Dean, a California runaway and about the most exciting thing to hit town since rock-n-roll.

Sandy Wilson’s first feature — 40 years young — is a genuine Canadian coming-of-age classic. With its lovely shots of the Okanagan valley, it evokes a heartfelt nostalgia for a more innocent time, while also capturing that adolescent restlessness that yearns for energy and change. Do these competing characteristics also stand for Canada and the US of A? Let’s just say the movie speaks gently to the present discord.

Lunar New Year Splash 2025 presented five films from Asia, all centered on the theme of family, to welcome the Year of the Snake—and I actually watched all five. After the screening of Granny Must Die, there was a virtual Q&A with the director, which I recorded. Chen Yi-Jung, a Taiwanese filmmaker, spoke in Mandarin, with an on-site interpreter providing translation.

Synopsis of Granny Must Die (from VIFF):

An absurd comedy about the daily life of a three-generational Hakka household in Taipei. Huichiao, her grandmother Chunmei, Chunmei’s son Fusang, and daughter-in-law Lichun live together in a three-generational household in Taipei. The story begins on a stormy night when Huichiao quietly approaches and kills the sleeping Chunmei: “Granny, just die!”

Their conflict stems not only from daily trivialities but also from past memories and complex family relationships. Fusang, the silent and steady member of the family, tries to mediate the disputes among his mother, wife, and daughter, feeling powerless amidst the constant bickering. Meanwhile, Huichiao’s relationship with her colleague A-jie gradually comes to light. A-jie’s seemingly accidental presence triggers a series of events, raising suspicions about everyone’s motives and true intentions.

Through multiple perspectives and intertwined timelines, the film delves into this quirky family, uncovering each member’s secrets and sorrows, leading to a dramatic escape where the truth finally emerges.

Director Statement: Living in Taiwan’s multicultural society, we often face conflicts between traditional and modern values. Each character in the film carries fragments and emotions from real life. Their stories might seem absurd, but behind the laughter lies a profound reflection of reality. I hope the audience can not only smile through this film but also join us in exploring the meaning of family and self-discovery through the laughter.
