Classic from Taiwan - with English subtitles too

Oyster Girl was praised, after its release in 1964, for its ‘healthy realism’. Its degree of realism seems great reduced today, after the films of Hou Hsiao Hsien and Tsai Ming Liang and other New Wave figures. Yet, for the time, even the portrayal of poverty, low-class labour and unflattering conditions generally must have been a challenge to the purely escapist orientation of earlier films. The story itself nevertheless contains many familiar melodramatic elements: the ups and downs of romance, unexpected pregnancy and its associated scandals, unwanted advances from other men and the like. The main character, the oyster girl of the title, is Ah Lan, daughter of a widowed and alcoholic father. She loves Jinshui, who also likes her, though he must spend time away on fishing boats in order to save enough money to marry her (especially since her father insists on a large dowry). She is also bothered by Ah Huo, who continues to make advances despite her rejection and his own girlfriend’s reproaches. In spite of these familiar features, Oyster Girl remains a stand-out film, perhaps because the social background and context are so well developed and integrated into the film. The drama is played out among oyster farmers and fishermen, showcasing their activities and aspects of their lifestyle, and this social context also seeps directly into the story itself through the issues of poverty and dysfunctional families. Perhaps it is this combination of the familiar and the strange which makes this film more interesting than the middle-class melodramas of the period. ‘Oyster Girl’ was suitably honoured by Hou Hsiao Hsien in the first episode of ‘The Sandwich Man’, as the film being promoted on the sandwich man’s placards. As for the DVD itself, in contains burn-in subtitles in both Chinese and English, with dialogue (and a couple of songs) in Mandarin. |
